    Hi all, great to find this forum.

    I'm a new rider interested in a 2017 or '18 Street Scrambler and trying to learn more about it. Especially fit, as I'm 1.98m (6'6") and finding bikes for my size is a challenge. Most of my riding will be under an hour, so I don't need perfect.

    Has anyone changed the seat on this bike for more lift? Recommendations?

    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Hi from another newbie

    I asked the same question and Tony Archer seats were recommended.

    I think he's a busy guy...

    Ahhh New Hampshire, spent a summer working at UNH in concord and NH fish & game in Berlin. Beautiful state with the old man of the mountain looking down.

    Welcome Andrew!

    Great to find the connection. I work at UNH and have some links to fish and game as well. The Old Man has crumbled a bit in 2002 I think, lost that iconic profile, but the views are still here.
