Default Seat adjustment - How do you sit?

I'm not the tallest guy in the world, but sometimes I feel like even with my seat positioned all the way down, I'm still sitting to high. I can't see much of the hood while driving, but if the seat would come down even another 1/2" it would feel perfect. My car is low, and I just prefer to sit low when driving...

I'm curious if anyone else has felt like this, or know if it's possible to lower the seat any further?

Just move it a bit forward,,and tilt the seat back a bit. Presto,,you are lower( line of sight wise)!! At 6'2" I have no problem finding a comfortable position,,even have a few options to vary positions on trips!!I do have to lay it back a bit more to fit my helmet when I take it to test and tune.I actually prefer a bit more upright when driving!!
