How I added 2.5" more seat travel to the rear on my Manta. Should work on Asconas too I would think.
See the pics as it's pretty self explanitory and I didn't do it in a particularly elegant way. Have fabbing a nicer LR bracket on the to do list to get rid of the extension bracket.

Thanks for posting.... I'll keep this in mind if the lack of space becomes annoying enough

LOL! I guess I asked for it. Hey if you put in a sunroof you wouldnt need to set the seat back so far.
