Got a tall seat now. The big surprise is the big improvement it made with the leg comfort. If it ever quits raining, I'll do a 300 mile day and really get a "seat of the pants" opinion.

Put the grip puppies on also. I cut one in half and set that half to the outer edge of the grips. I lost too much precise feel when racing the rocket bike boys on the twisty' with a full grip. Half a grip works well enough.

I have an 06 seat on my 08 as well. I also added the Precision Engineering 2" drop pegs. Talk about leg room! NUTS

Love my 06 seat on the 08, drop pegs are next, any issues with shifter and brake adjustments with the 2" drop?

I put an '06 Low seat on my '08 XT



I've got a 30"inseam, and it makes the bike much nicer.

I have an '06 seat which is too tall for me.
I switched to the optional '06 low seat but it could be more comfortable. If anyone has an 07 or 08 seat to trade for a stock orange and black 06 seat let me know...

Nutsosane I have a question about your 2" drop pegs... since the stock pegs are about 1" drop, then the 2" drop pegs must be about 1" lower... am I right?

Growl; that is correct. Here's the link to Performance Engineering:

wife says my ass is flat, what ever; the '06 seat on my '08xt is a big improvement in comfort. Combined with the 1 in. bar risers from American Sportbike it's nearly unbeatable. Also I think the taller seat leaves less of the thigh exposed to the heat.

Minor, easy adjustment needed for the shift/brake levers. If you fancy yourself some record breaking lean angle~ist then the lower pegs might touch down sooner than you require. If you want to eat big miles in comfort, then give precision engineering a call. NUTS

I don't think I could drop my pegs. Already grinding the edge of my boots in some corners. No chicken strips on the edge of the back tire. These Uly's surprise the rocket boys.

Bringing my father and brothers into motorcycling has slowed me down(not that I was fast)and I must admit it is a welcomed change. I find myself breaking off from the pack of fast riders and finding my own way, most days. If I want to act like a goon I"ll take my DR-Z out for some gravel road hooning. NUTS
