I get that. At my age, I can do the 200 mile jaunts, but prefer to stop around every hundred just to top off and clear the bladder. To me, the stock seat is the most limiting factor to longer jaunts, but the cost of replacement is currently out of my budget. VStream shield and 2" risers made a big ergo difference for me. If the pegs were down an inch, that would make things better too. tp
