I have a 36" inseam and ride a 96 750. I have a Corbin seat that I picked up on eBay and it is actually a little lower then the stock. However, it is so much more comfortable and a much better riding position than the stock seat. With the Corbin I sit further back and don't slide forward like the stock seat. That actually gives me a much better leg position. I've put about 60,000 miles on the seat and it's really worn in so I need to get it redone. I'm going to send it back to Corbin and have them make it 2" taller than current. I talked to someone there and they had me do some measurements. If I lived anywhere near CA I'd schedule a trip to the factory. They will build your seat for you at the factory in a day. That way it would be a perfect fit. Sean
