The stock seat bases have a crossmember near the back that, if your posture
isn't agreeable, irritates the tailbone. When Mike Cook redid our stock
seats, I had him bend the rear crossmember into a shallow curve so that
irritation isn't possible any more. Now, both Judy & I can drive for 8 hrs with
only a gas stop, and not need a chiropracter when we arrive. MIke's new foam in
our seats also lowered the base enough so I can sit comfortably with a
helmet on, and not rub the roof- all without dropping the floorpan. I'm 6'2" and
with a 15-second seatback rake adjustment, Judy at 5'4" is also
comfortable. This is all with stock '71-'72 3-piece seats. FWIW- J Deryke
