I had the front of the cushion reduced about 2 inches. It now has a beautiful saddle front, but most importantly, this bike now handles beautifully. My wife is more comfortable on it too because she can now put her feet flat on the ground at a full stop. Whether you are Filipino size or 6' tall like me, you will be pleasantly surprised at how good your Curve handles if you get the seat cut down as I did.
good point.. changing the rear shock absorber to an aftermarket one can also do wonders in the handling department, as is upgrading to wider low-profile tires.. tuning the front forks will ultimately make the Curve a comfortable road-hugging daily commuter
