1 Lowering the riding position on a K100 RT Sat Mar 19, 2011 8:16 pm

I've recently acquired an 85 K100 RT after not riding for nearly forty years. It came with a stock seat and an aftermarket Touring Corbin. The Corbin is more comfortable, but it only allows the tips of my toes to touch the ground unless I lean to one side or the other. I found it too hard to control the bike that way and put the stock seat back on. That one lets the front halves of my feet rest on the ground on both sides, but, I still find situations that are hard to handle. I've lowered the riding position as much as I can with the rear shock, which is OK because I'm not the featherweight I once was. Has anyone found any solutions to lower the riding position still further? I talked to Corbin today, and they said they could customize their Sports Saddle seat by shaving it down an inch, and narrowing it some; the Sports Saddle is already lower than the Touring Saddle, so, that's one route, but I'm wondering if anyone has found other solutions? I'm not sure how willing Corbin is going to be to accommodate me if I need further adjustments, so I'm trying to find options.
