Don't worry Spot... I know how you feel.

At a bit over 5'6 myself I feel very intimidated sometimes by my two babies.. (GSX1400 and XTR)

I just recently had my XTR's seat lowered by 25mm and recovered.

The result is a big improvement and a lot more re-assuring.

I will take some pics tomorrow and post them up. If you didn't know any different you wouldn't be able to tell.

A guy called Johno from B1tch'n Stitch here in Melbourne did it and let me tell you it's bloody brilliant!!

PS.. Practice sliding down each side of the seat when you stop.. Haha

Cheers

Marc
