Can you lower the front of the stock seat?

I'd be a happy camper if I could lower the front of the seat just a bit. I don't believe I missed the section in the manual the shows what to do. I'm sure someone will point it out if I did. Is there any way to do this with the stock equipment? Are there rails for the stock seat that will allow me to do this? ETA: I suppose I should answer the question "why"? Because I want to, and I have hip trouble.

What, you want to REDUCE seat rake???

My main complaint is how high the rear is and that height adjustment occurs from the rear of the seat. Moar rake is required!

EDIT: Oh, hip trouble. Carry on, sir!

Seat is bottomed, at far as I can tell. Seat height is the only adjustment available, again as far as I can tell. If I could lower the front of the seat-pan as well, all would be golden. I am six even, and my favorite seat position has me pushing against the front of the seat with the back of my thigh and tweaking my hip a bit. You should see me trying to enter and exit the thing, if you want an idea.
