Same here. One of the few times my stumpy legs have come in handy.
I actually find the stock seat quite plush.

If your looking for a true custom seat, look at "Bitchin Seat Company". More expensive, but you pay for what you get....

I'm 5'6 and love, love my stock seat. And I actually feel like I'm sitting "in" the bike not on top of it.

I'm 5'10 and I sit "in" the seat perfectly.
No desire to swap it out.

Here is a pic of my C&C solo. I have only had it for two weeks, but it does not need a break in and is so comfy. It is notahrd like a lot of seats out there. Plus I sit in teh bike with it instead of on the bike. Until you ahv e sat in a bike it does not really make sense.

I am the same as you. I always get a kick out of the folks that say they are vertically challenged at 5'9". They oughta ride in our pants a time or two then the difinition of vertically challenged would change. Ha HA

Agreed, 5'9" is not vertically challenged. 4'9" is.

Yep im about 5' 11" and with my stock seat i feel cramped also. Its kinda like riden on my gas tank. Only use it for when riden 2-up.

Soo....i went with a LePera barebones. Got it at American Classic Motor for $180.00 shipped. Arrived in 5 days..With this seat it feels like your riden on the rear fender....it looks bitchen...but it hard as a rock when new. I got used to it really quick though.

I really like how Dr. Twins C&C looks with that stiching done to it but couldn't find myself to part with almost $380.00 clams for that one...
