    Not entirely sure what you're meaning, the fore and aft isolator you mean?

    Trust me......not fancy. Standard seat. Not upgraded. I really wish I had the upgraded passenger seat that swivels to face the table in the sleeper though!

    You must look like the little old lady in her 1970 Oldsmobile Delta 88 peering over the dash and under the top of the steering wheel.:laughing3::toothy8:

    Probably so. Just the way I have always preferred it. Looks #### uncomfortable sitting up close and seat aired up hunched over steering wheel with a death grip.

    I prefer the seat to be on the floor... Zero air. No bounce, and I can "feel" the road better... It is also more comfortable when you spend 5 to 8 consecutive hours driving to not have the seat constantly pressed into the backs of your thighs... My feet will go numb if I air my seat up much at all.

    Im usually on the floor with no air while just cruising, with seat all the way back and slightly reclined regardless. Air up a little to see the hood mirrors when im manuvering tight.

    My legs appreciate it. And I dont like the bouncing anyway. Im about 5'7" sooooooo........

    Though helpfully at least in a T680, I find the little convex mirrors are alot less distorted from that perspective. Like i basically ignore the flat mirrors in that position. But thats my bizzare brain at work.

    Back in the day it was cool to sit on the floor. Maybe that is what’s going on?

    You can have your cool. Eventually, my lo rider gave me a pain in my side that got pretty dang irritating. My new Knoedler has just the right amount of cushion where I don't want to throw up from the bouncing.

    Doesn't Knoedler make the lowest low ride seat in existence?
     
    Badmon Thanks this.
