As far as the lay down position of the bike - bar risers are a great mod. I
did it because the handle bars were a bit too far for me. The seat is
wonderful. I had one inch shaved off and it was still comfy for a (3/4)
cross country trip. The longest day in the saddle was 615 miles and a nice
soak in a hot bath (and IB) fills the ticket for that :-) Granted, I'm not
the dimensions that you guys are but I wanted to tell you about the risers.
