[QUOTE="infrared, post: 1283427, member: 68615"] HTW1300, I believe Corbin is one of the lowest seats available. Some say these seats are rather hard, but mine is a good fit, and does not seem hard to me. On the 2008, you can remove the white plastic seat support to lower the rider's seat onto the frame. You can also remove the front rubber buttons on the bottom of the seat; they just pop out with some water applied. Protect the frame with a layer of plastic tape there instead, to get the front of the seat lower. Check the owner's manual (I don't have a Gen3) to see if the seat can be lowered, if you have not done so.. I have yet another option for you, though. Footwear with tall, aggressive treads on the sole and heel (waffle-stompers) will also help in getting feet on the ground. I found some light tactical (combat) boots that look like regular black shoes or riding boots, They came with thick soles, side zippers and laces. The soles have a steel shank, and work very well with the rider's footpegs. These boots give good foot protection, and they do well even in cold weather. Since they were discontinued stock, the price was about half of what good quality riding boots would have cost. You would not find there what I found here, but I think the concept is still valid, if you can find similar footwear. Cheers, Infrared [/QUOTE]
