That is the 1 "standoff" i could find a job for. Its 1 of the 5 from under the seat. Had it in my hand when i was looking for a spacer to help hold the seat down lower, and woddayano! It fitted!! Sorry for all the confusion;)	kiwipaul OFFLINE Junior Max Posts: 75

This is a before pic. of the front mount in its original state. There were only 5 standoffs total, and they were all under the seat, and they should all be removed.

Could always put a thin piece of felt or cloth or some such thing if plastic rubbing on plastic is a concern.
Personally I think i'll just check mine for premature wear and tear down the road a few 100 miles.

Please let me know how this works for you. Its less than an inch gain, but it made a big difference for me. Got me back in my comfort zone.
I'm about 5'4"...
