I hadn't thought about these.  Anyone else have an opinion?

Good thought.

What would I need one of those for? Nearly 20 years since I've had a
ticket.  :-)

So I've heard.  I'd get one before my first long-distance highway trip. 
But for the first while it would be commuting, running around town and
day trips to the twisties in the country.

That's the sort of thing I was thinking of: tall screen for winter,
short one for summer, and whichever I found I preferred for the
occasional long trip.

I figure I'll ride it stock before I decide.  No sense wasting money on
risers if I find myself happy and comfortable with the bike as-is.

My current bike has its original seat with 13-year old foam.  My butt is
used to it.  The Sprint feels like heaven in comparison.  :-)
