My V2S High seat finally arrived - and the spacers I bought that come with the 1260 seat. You don't get any spacers with the V2S. No ride report yet - but looks like it should be a lot better. Just got balls of feet on the ground now, and no need to set suspension for 2 riders with luggage. (I fixed the spacer alignment after taking the photo)
I'm probably going to get the original seat customised as well... better than leaving it in the garage.
