seat height

Post by dwheels »

I have a 2004 R1150RT which is great but I also have a short inseam and have to lean the bike a little when stopped. It currently has a Corbin seat (came with it) on it and lowered to lowest setting. Is there anything else or another seat which might be better?
Thanks,

I have a 34" inseam and my bike had a factory short seat. It was way short. I swapped it with the high version which is much better for me. Try getting your hands on a factory low or see if someone has one you can borrow in your town.

I'm not sure what bike you have (RT, I think), but I have low seat for the 1150R the that I no longer need. PM me if you are interested.

Thanks for input everybody. At this point I am willing to sell/trade my Corbin seat for a lower seat. It is to big for me and will cost too much to reshape. The Corbin also has a backrest with it for an extra 100 bucks.
