Okay- I'm a knucklehead... got the bike ('06) all buttoned back up after a major electrical install and was amazed to find ZERO extra parts!!!....but I can't get the spacer at the front of the rider's seat into the proper position. The way I got it to snap on seems of have more of a slant to the front of the saddle- I'm pretty sure this is the "low" position. Can someone who rides with the seat in the higher position post a pic of the plastic insert at the front that the tab on the saddle slides into??? It's a small plastic snap on piece that the "tongue" of the saddle rests on/in. Thanks in advance!~

 
You have to leave that spacer completely out to use the hi position. The manual instructions are on

page 3-16, it's called the rider seat height position adjuster. I struggled with it also.

 
So does the seat go on top of the receiver, then? Cause it's inside it now and it has too much forward slope.

 
Yup, the seat sits on top of the tab ( seat holder) with the spacer removed. The manual is confusing, calling the front spacer two different things. So remove the front spacer and move the rear seat holder to hi position. locks right in. :yahoo:
