Thanks!

But as I said above, the picture is a bit of an optical illusion, the saddle is almost perfectly level (when parked on a level surface, using an actual level), in fact the nose of the saddle is slightly high, I would say 2-3 degrees....I know the picture doesn't look like it, but I assure you it is.
