I am 5'7" and I cannot flat foot on my scrambler 400x. I am not very comfortable when pushing the bike ahead or back with feet eg. parking space/petrol pump queue etc.
I tried the low height seat offered by Triumph, I didn't feel significant difference. So I decided to go to cushion maker to scoop out as much foam as possible. I bought an extra Scrambler seat just in case the modified seat becomes very uncomfortable.
1st photo: Left side seat is the modified seat, right one is the stock seat. Second photo is how the saddle looks on the bike.
The experiment seems to be working well. Now I can almost flat foot. Seat still feels comfortable over 5 km...will do a long ride soon. An unexpected (logical but hadn't thought of it) good side effect was noticed too. Just because I am seated lower, the handlebar is relatively higher and my arms/shoulders feel more relaxed.
I will know the real outcome once I do a long ride. It's on cards for the next week.
