Honda Linto seat base position
Hear's a picture showing the seat base position in relation to the front wheel. It's important to get the riders feet close to the front wheel spindle, so they can be tucked in well. 700-800mm is a good length. This length is 840mm, meaning that a seat base, in front of the clutch housing, for (inside) leg lengths around 30" will just fit. So seat base should to be in front of the clutch housing. The engine could be tipped forward a bit (see how the ground clearance line isn't level) The front wheel could also be moved a little. Need to establish how much the engine can be tilted (oil/cooling systems etc.) and confirm that there's nothing on top of the engine intruding into this space. This might get 50mm off a seat over the clutch, loads the front wheel well and maximises passenger/load space. It makes a conversion to a sub-500mm seat base feasible, dependant on engine tilt, no intrusions, 100mm ground clearance and front wheel no further back than shown here. Still a disapointlingly high seat compared to the Tmax option.
