Long ago someone posted that the Savage was a "girl's bike" -- I replied no way, it's too small:


While I am comfortable on a stock Savage, Wendy was rather cramped, what with her 36" inseam  (When I first saw Wendy she was wearing beach clogs, Daisy Dukes, and not a thing inbetween -- haven't recovered yet.)  

For Christmas she got me a 13" wide Ultima "High Noon" solo saddle with 3" springs.  Finally got it mounted:
 Picture taken before I fabricated the front mount, which holds the front pivot of the saddle a full four inches above the tank/seat boltdown.  As you can see, the seat is considerably up and back from the stock seating position.  I found it uncomfortable, will be shortening the front by 2 inches and trying to get the rear down by three inches, probably 2 inches forward.  HOWEVER!!!

Wendy said the bike now feels Just Fine:

Check the position of the knee in relation to the gas tank between the top stock seat and the high sprung solo saddle.

Hear hear, a bike you love is yours - no gender distinctions.

Paladin - on the Daisy Dukes / clogs description - it is so refreshing to see someone speak so glowingly of his/her spouse.  I bet she feels like a million dollars, reading that.

Ride safe,
Amy

Here's a good pic that shows the range of riders that can be comfy on this bike. EdL (left) & I are both around 6'2, and, if you can find her, Paminator is about 5'0 on a good day.

I plan to put on the 4" forward controls and I just just acquired a Road King Police Seat with air ride that I am going to see if I can mount. If not I'll sell it on Ebay cuz I got a great deal. If it can make it work it will be a very sweet solo ride.
