Hi
I just bought a 2019 Ftr race replica and I love the bike but it feels a bit small. The hump on the original sadel won't let me slide back and I wouldn't mind it being a bit taller.
Would a tracker seat solve this it looks like the hump is a further back and it might be a bit taller?
Any tall guys using the tracker seat?

Thanks for the help

I'm 6'1, also have a 19,, and am intending at some stage to install the tracker seat. Not due to ergonomics - (contrary to most on here, I find the stock seat to be the most comfortable I've ever encountered on a motorcycle) - but purely aesthetics. I want the bike to resemble a flat tracker as much as it possibly and practicably can for a road bike (although it does go on the dirt too. It's slimmer and less bulbous than the OEM seat, but not sure it would make a huge amount of difference. I'm sure that Mike, the owner of this forum will be able to advise.

Is this concern purely in the interest of comfort? or off-road technique?

The hump of the tracker seat seems further back yes, and you can move around because you’re not locked in.

For me, comfort is around a 6 or a 7 on a 1 to 10 scale.

I have the 19 with tracker seat ,Iam not tall at 5.11,but I find when riding I slide down towards the tank anyway, I’d give it 5 out of 10 for comfort.

ism 6´5 the main reason is comfort, it feels like the hump is pushing me forward causing pain in knees and hips. The looks of the tracker is also a reason ;)
