July 19, 2010, 10:51:03 PMThe seat did rise, maybe an inch. The seat height is a bit over 32" off the stand. I'm 5' 9" in bare feet with an inseam of 32", so I'm right on the edge of being able to place both feet flat on ground while at a stop, but I can do it. I know you'll enjoy turning your bike back into what it should be by undoing all the damge done by the factory since the '50s ;-) Now, if I could only get rid of that hideous starter...

You even have some of the snaggs ironed out for me ( how to get indicator lights when switching to a smiths speedo) I do have 2 questions. did going to that solo seat effect the seat height? would you Know what the seat height is (off the stand from ground to top of seat)
