    I’m looking for some advice from fellow 101er’s that are tall. I’m 6’ 4” and throughly enjoy riding my 101. The seat is all the way back on adjustment and works but I was interested on what maybe others have done.

    Thanks,

    I made a longer Yoke  for the coil springs   for both my 101,s  Im 6ft 2"  Makes it way better for Myself and my Wife. and reshaped the  Front  connection a little   to raise the nose of the seat.

    You can also flip the spring hanger strap over so the tabs point up, this lifts the rear of the seat a bit as well.

    Thanks Phil and Eugene!

    Do you have any photos to share for a visual look? Also how much more did you add to the yoke Phil in inches?

    Thanks,

    Both my Yokes are 310mm from Top  to bottom of thread. One original  I have is 260mm   On one of mine  I made some threaded sleeves up  that are tapered   so as to not show  .The Other I made new.

    Great tip Philip!

    Did you lengthen your front connection as well?

    Thanks,
