Hi Brian,
Here are some pictures of the height adjustment. It goes from about 15 1/2” to 17” to the seam of the seat. Both the front and back of the seat move independently, so plenty of customizing can be done. I am taking a long ride this weekend and will see if it needs to raised a half inch or not, my wife is a bit shorter and I will se how it works for her as well. The original seat was most likely at about 18” which most agree was to high.
I also included a passenger seat photo which is about 16”, I had put in a new base (7”) which lowered it to 15 1/2, then put some washers on top of the base in the front to level and raise the seat just a bit. I also cut new holes in the passenger base to shift it to the left so it can spin and clear the right hand wall.
The power slide moves a ton back and forth, so no problem clearing the steering wheel when spinning it.
I have 2 9” and 1 7” base I don’t need if anyone near Philly wants them. I’m in Mount Laurel NJ.
