Seat-wise...for rallying it could do with a bit more height. An inch or so more foam would translate into you being able to get a couple of inches further forward, which would help cornering. at the minute you just slide back down the slope of the tank and end up a bit too far back. I've got no issues with the 'hump', and for more sedate trail riding it's fine.
My E0-9 rear is wearing well...which is a bonus considering there a decent price too.

reckon i will go Swiss army front then......just best take some spare pants until i get used to this twitchy front that every one goes on about.

You mentioned the swiss army front and C0-2 rear is a good combo...i bet thats a bit scarey on the road at first isnt it......ever used that combo fully laden?

Seat: i know exactly what you mean about wanting to get a bit more forward for corning. Even though im just shy of 6'4" tall...i still dont fancy a taller seat though

thanks for your help
