Seat is comfy. I'll have to take mine off again(hasn't been off since new 50 hours ago) & check that bolt/seat mount point 'cause yeah as you know it's same as yours & like you say may very well help with seat bolt(which I temember was a bit of a prick to refit).
Tall?! Coming off Italian Huskies these things are like 85s!
Keep any eye on disc bolts as my fronts all came well loose after first ride or 2!
I honestly thought fit & finish aside from seat/tank junction & seat bolt is pretty good. Some odd sized fasteners still though.

It's better than they used to be.

But yeah, I had tank/radiator line clearance issues with the Ptech braces. Fitment of the seat to tank to subframe is less than ideal. Plus you pointed out the subframe isn't inline with the frame... It's just little things.. Not deal breakers, but they are there!

I have an Ital Husky here.. I'll vouch it's even taller again!! Not a problem for giants like you...
