          It does kinda look steep, I agree, but all and all, looks good though.

            I know what you mean about feeling like your in the bike instead of on it. I did the same kind of mod to the seat of my first '81 1000G. Brought the center of gravity down and made cornering much easier. Sacrificed some comfort though.
