There's a thread on TOB about a woman who did just about that.  She took it way down, basically just a thin layer of foam and a gel pad on the plastic when she was done.  Also, sometimes narrowing just the forward nose of the seat helps by making more room for your thighs when you pout your legs down.  It wouldn't matter much if you were already down to minimal padding.

That's Mangledbug - she's on here now.  Surprised she hasn't copied over her seat Tute now that it's been mentioned.

Total seat height - you can loose a good bit.  The rear can be lowered at the hoop, and the forks can be moved in the triples as well.  That + seat will get you a couple inches.

Got plans for someone else to ride the 900?  Getting a new toy!?  I know you're not looking to lower it for your own needs, big feller
-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.

Just thinning the herd/capitalizing my cabinet business.  Maybe next spring Ill do the flat black busa, touring/SPEEDING edition.  Flat black absorbs "lasers" right?

Favorite convo i read on this board
"PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN"
"F**K U IT HAPPENED"

Suzuki Blvd M109R " Sliver " = assassinated by cager
PW 696 " Pearl " = traded in
M1100 " Loki " = Viking God of mischief ( Goddess in this case )
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a pretty pristine body, but rather to come in sliding sideways all used up screaming F*CK YEAH WHAT A RDIE!!
