[QUOTE="jkhdallas, post: 252239, member: 6010"] Orbitr - At the suggestion of another forum member, I went to www.adjustmenttech.com, and bought Adjustment Tech Fixed Ride Height Adjusters ("dogbone links") to lower the suspension in the back. Cheaper than a Corbin seat, and I like the FJR stock seat OK. I'm shorter than you (28-29" inseam), and the minimal lowering (a choice of two lowering heights is possible) made a big difference, satisfactory for me. I've been warned about possible bad effects from reducing the suspension travel as a consequence of using the links, but have had no problem, even in the mountains with luggage full and a top bag. Installation was easy (my Yamaha dealer did it in a flash along with the 600-mile check-up). Adjustmenttech also offers an variably adjustable gadget ("Fully Adjustable Ride Height Adjusters") for lowering the back, and the rider who sent me to adjustementtech.com told me that he has been very happy with that. I wanted a cheaper, simpler solution, even if not so flexible, and it's worked fine for me. Good luck! - JKHDallas [/QUOTE]
