2001 Yamaha Vmax seat riser

[Ron Case]

I built a 2 3/4 tall frame of 3/4 thick pine wood to raise my seat. I painted the frame with black rubber truck bed liner. I used stainless self drilling screws to secure to tunnel.I mounted hinges on rear to use as storage. The snaps need to be relocated to hold front of seat down.Cut tabs off of seat that slide under gas tank with hack saw blade. Angle of gas tank matches angle of seat, when moved up 2 3/4 inches it also moves seat forward 2 3/4 inches.I am 5'9'', inseam of 32''. This new riding position is perfect for me.Makes it feel like your riding on top and not slung down low. Handles great.
