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.
