Lower seat for R 1150 RT

Hi all,

I bought a BMW R 1150 RT recently. As I live in Lisbon (my old beautiful
city center still has a lot of steep climbs, narrow streets, hard curbs, and
uneven stone pavement) I do need a lower seat. I am 5' 8'' (173 cm) and I
believe that a lower would more confortable and safer, especially when
riding along with my wife.
Can anyone corroborate my opinion?
If so, where can I find a seat dealer in UK because in Portugal they are
hard to find them (odd, because our average height is lower than in northern
countries...I believe the market opportunity is good here!!!).
Thanks for the help.

Cheers,

The Tories tried short sharp shocks. They didn't work.

 

the long, high voltage ones the Yanks use do though ;o)

Hi,

I am looking lower seats, not short shocks. I heard that those seats are
narrower and a bit slimmer.
I suppose they could cut the height down to an inch or so. Am I right?
Does anyone have any idea or experienced a bike with those seats?
To all the other hints about short shocks, thanks anyway.

Greets,

Henrique
