Craig thanks for the info, i did the lowering links thing to but when i loaded all my stuff up "IE" aluminum bags,top trunk,and so on it was kissing the tarmac every chance it got even with the preload cranked right up on the shock,i cut about 2in from the top of the OEM seat which is ok for now but I'm looking for a better long term solution I'm about 5ft 8" and 180lbs and need just a bit more touche fealy when i have to drop the anchors.
That was quite the ordeal to see how much actual lowering you got,I've just found some links on ebay that are stainless ajustable with a turnbuckle at both ends that look quite strong,i think I'll try a pair you could lower them when you don't have a load on and raise them when you do.
Not sure about the forks wouldn't want to have to raise and lower them every time,i suppose you could have them somewhere in between are you asleep yet?
Cheers Stu.

Subject: RE: [DSN_KLR650] seat
Stu, The seat got me 3/4" lower. I measured this two ways. First, putting different thickness of boards on the garage floor and switching seats. 3/4' boards under my feet with the stock seat felt the same as no boards with the Africa seat. I also hung a plum bob from the ceiling to just touching the top of my head with the stock seat, then put on the Africa seat and had about 3/4" clearance. I was a little disappointed I didn't get the full 11/2" as advertised, but 3/4" lower did make a noticeable difference. I also installed 11/2" lowering links and raised the fork tubes 1" out of the triple tree. So, I am now about 21/4" lower and am happy with that. Craig Kahler
