1 K100RT Seat to footrest distance? Sat Dec 22, 2018 12:14 pm

Hi all,
I recently traded my 1984 K100RT for a 2007 K1200GT and I find the ride position a bit tough on my knees - it's not so easy to support myself, e.g. when approaching a speed-bump, etc.
I suspect it is the seat-to-footrest distance, but since I've sold the old bike, I can't measure this myself.
Would you mind measuring the distance from the top of the footrest to the bottom of something flat on the seat (a plank of wood or something will do the job!).
The equivalent distance on my GT, with the seat fully raised (highest position) is about 47 cm.
Thanks in advance,
Kevin
