I also have back issues and use a seat insert from Relax The Back. That makes a huge difference.
How many of you have air ride seats for no reason

Go to an antique truck show and try and get a ride in an old tandem with a 145 - 150 inch wheelbase.
Every concrete seam smacks you in the back...after 100 miles the bottom of your rib cage is sore
Oh Yeah, the seat was little more than plywood and foam; air seats cost money!
You know that little button like thing on top of a baseball cap?
It feels real nice when your head slams up into the overhead...Last edited: Sep 19, 2019

1) I prefer sitting on the frame because I want a feel of what’s going on under me.
2) I’m six foot eight tall.
3) It looks cool.
4) It triggers new breeders.
5) Because I can.FlaSwampRat, wore out, peterbilt_2005 and 10 others Thank this. -
I air mine up all the way after I get moving and set the cruise control. It's easier to put my foot up on the dash. Only lower the seat down when I need to reach the brake pedal.

How bout we all not worry over how high (or low) someone's seat is, and we just do what's comfortable.
For the record, I ride with the seat all the way down, which is still plenty high. When you spend all night driving two lane roads (if you can call them roads) in PA coal country, you'd understand why the seat is on the floor. I tried the air thing a few times, and it just reminds me of a bad carnival ride.
For myself, I care not about looking cool for others. Because there is a big difference in looking cool, and being cool. -
In time one will realize this too.Tall Mike Thanks this. -
