Breva 1100 Seat Raise Solution

The stock seat on my Breva is way too low. I'm 6'2" with a 34" inseam. I tried to get a raise using an Air Hawk. It definitely helped, but did not like the "feel" nor did it raise me enough. Just too much like a water bed. Didn't feel secure during spirited riding. Plus, I wanted to get close to the seat/peg dimension that work for me on my other two bikes. Took the bike to Bill Mayer Saddles up in Ventura and told them what I want. They did a terrific job and now not only do I have the seating position that I want, but the seat is extremely comfortable, much more so than the OEM. AFter an all day ride, never feel the need to stretch my legs out while on the freeway ride home.
 
I had the same issue with the seat on my B12S. I found a cheap old B11 seat on Ebay and had it redone by Sargent. It is now 1-1/2" higher than the stock seat and works great for me.
