My missus isn’t getting in with her bike so much these days (Honda CB500) so we are looking at ways for her to use my bike while I’m working abroad. Sadly, she’s only a dainty wee thing and can only tip-toe my SV with my fitted seat (standard with leather cover).

Does anybody have a lowered or sculpted seat that they would part with? It doesn’t have to be the nicest looking thing, so long as it’s useable.

If nobody has a lowered seat option then I would consider a standard seat I could mess about with myself.

Would require delivery to a Southampton if not with reasonable collection distance. Cheers. :cool:

Cheers for those, I had already looked through eBay and spotted them but the first one has been raised whereas I need a lowered option, if one exists.

Just take the seat cover off and cut the foam out and lower the seat yourself?

TBH the standard seat is so bad, I can't think of anyone who lowered the standard seat.

I'd buy a standard seat, and send it off to someone like Tony Archer who'll lower it and use a gel insert to make it comfortable.

I'd also use longer dog bones to lower the seat height if your wife struggles on top toe?

Dave I've got one, will get some pics if you PM me your email address. When I bought my bike it was on, been well done, the previous owner was pretty short - from Portsmouth actually but don't hold that against me! I could post, will also figure that out but it won't be a lot as they don't weight too much.
