I ran a separate posting on this a while back, but have you given any thought to filling in that space under the seat bottom created when you raised the front slope? If so....how?
I was thinking about that this morning and had a thought. It may not work, but I'll only know when I get a chance to do it.
1. Straighten a wire coat hanger.
2. Fold a piece of memory foam or something similar over the coat hanger and secure with hog rings.
3. Bend to the shape necessary to fill the gap.
4. Cover with black vinyl or whatever you desire and secure it with your method of choice.
5. Insert into seat gap and secure seat into position.
That was just bouncing around in my head on my ride to work. I guess I will have to figure out a loop to hold the front of the seat down before I put foam underneath it, but there are so many good ideas here that it shouldn't be hard to do.

This is the finished product. It doesn't look good, but it works and stays hidden under the seat. Cost less than $10 with the aluminum, the washers, and the longer bolts.

Report back your findings I'm curiousI just built a metal U loop and screwed it to the original one just under 1" above it, just like others have. Then, where the two rubber bumpers at the front of the seat used to fall on the support brace, I drilled two holes and mounted two 1"-tall hard rubber feet for live music speaker enclosures (I design boutique speaker enclosures) so that seat's rubber bumpers rested on top of those. then I filled the area under the seat with closed cell foam cut from interlocking floor mat sections from Costco -- it's two sections deep in front tapering to one section deep in the back, for some additional damping and support.
Feels like it might be just what I need, especially once the beloved tight-fitting SIT & FLY seat cover is added, which also will hide the gap better. Now to ride and find out if this is true.
I like the slope better. But only 120 miles riding today, so until my Sit & Fly arrives and I put it on, I'm not certain yet whether it'll be all I desire for a long day in the saddle...Report back your findings I'm curious
