I weigh 200 lbs. How would I go about lowering the drop in the back? I am definitely interested in doing that!!

Ok then, I have the normal solo reach seat on my XL50 now and love it! For $150 you can't beat it and it's very comfortable and fits great! The bare bones is a bit better looking, but you will not go wrong with the reach solo.

I will probably go with the normal solo like you have
