Hi folks
Test ride a new forza 300 on Saturday really impressive bike. Great pick up and throttle response I want to purchase only issue is lack of feet forward riding position......
Question, does anyone know if its possible to re upholster the seat......

Not sure what you mean by lack of feet forward on this and the XMax 300 - do you have very long legs?
Admittedly there's not as much room as on a TMax, but my 30" legs are well out in front of me on the XMax, and it's all-day comfortable?

I must admit at 5ft10 I usually ride my X-max 300 feet forward, but on long runs
sometimes swap between it and bog seat position just for a change.

...the new Forza has a shorter Overall Length and Wheelbase than either the XMax 300 or the Burgman 400. ...so if you want to ride feet forward...
It depends more on the style and layout of the plastics... rather than the actual wheel base...

I am 5' 10" and find my xmax 300 a little cramped.
It does not have a true feet forward position like a Burgman 400/650
I wish it had a bit more room

I have been in touch with a seat sculptor in Bradford who inform me they can modify the bum rest 2 inches perhaps...so that maybe enough to get the feet position I want
I really prefer the throttle response and sweetness of the forza
