Looking to find out who has installed adjustable pedestals, what are the part numbers, and how they are holding up. Thanks for the info in advance.

I really like the extra height, but you are limited by the length of your legs unless you don't mind having hanging feet, so depending on how tall you are, the taller one may be overkill. To me, it was money well spent, I really like the new seating position.

I saw this one and a couple of others I am looking at the Springfield model, and just wondering how they have held up. I’m 5’6” and want to be above the windshield. I hate sitting on the bolster because it hurts my back from being being hunched over.
