Hi the X1 seat is fairly narrow (not as bad as the S1 narrow  )so taking a bit of foam out may help a bit .. i think someone on here made a bracket to lower , rear suspension on a tube frame Buell can't remember which one though sorry ?

Let some air out of the tyres. Sorry had to say that. Take some foam out & replace it with this. There are cheaper ones on ebay I just found this one quickly for you. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Comfortable- ... SwuZVcNg-D All the best & welcome. |

I'm around the same height and have a standard seat on my S1 which is ok plus a re- shaped seat with gel pad which is better. If you know what you're doing you can re-shape it yourself, an electric carving knife is good for this. Or pay a professional to do a neat job that'll come with a minimum 12 month guarantee. If you're in the northwest I can recommend a couple. Oh and welcome to the site......... Dave |
