Wanna buy » seat question

[dewkawtee 2006 1000 DS (Red)]

During a test ride on the MTS1100S, I felt like I was sliding forward on the seat. After the ride, I noticed there is a slope from the rear of the seat. Would an after-market seat correct this?

I'm 6'1". Thanks in advance.

I notice this myself as an owner. Although I do not know about whether a seat would fix this, I know some thing that may. I am 6'3" and around 230. When I ride the bike, I feel like the front end is twitchy, to avert this and the seat problem, I plan to try sliding the forks down in the triple trees. You can see while looking at the top of the forks, that they are slide up quite a bit. This will make the bike more stable, and raise the front end a bit. I know the bike wasn't designed around 230# of arse, but I can't afford springs and valving! My 2 c. Hopefully some one can enlighten us with the seat....
