Default Seat Lowering

Has anybody got any pictures of a lowered seat?

i know i have to remove the fabric cover and then cut the foam down however if somebody has a picture i could work to then i can work out the curves etc.

what i will do when i do this later il take photos as i go along and do a guide because for the sake of an hours time and a pack of staples you have saved yourself £40 odd quid

I'm seriously considering lowering my seat as well. I have stumpy short legs and have trouble movng the bike around. It was even worse on my K3 naked due to the taller seat height.

Good job I trained as a car trimmer.

yeah some more pics would be awesome.

i have the same problem although i can reach the floor i cant walk the bike around because i cant get enough bend in my legs so my legs are upright.

im going to take the seat off now and take the cover off and see what the situation is like. whilst im out there im going to take some pictures then you can do it yourself if you want

Lowered seat costs about £35 from Suzuki, is 10mm lower and a little narrower at the front I think.

Part Nuumber: 45100-16G91-W05, have a look here at Robinsons.
