R1200S - lowering the suspension for short people

Postby mkatz » Wed Feb 20, 2008 8:24 pm

Ok... I'm resigned to being short. I had an R1100S which was just about as tall a bike as I would wish to own. It was also jus about as sport-bike-like positioned as I would wish. The R11S, sadly, is "no more" as I totaled it five years ago.

I'm looking for new bike and find that the R1200S appeals to me. I've heard that it "sits" a bit taller than the R11S. In theory it can be lowered (new front and rear shocks). Does anyone have any experience with that having been done? Other suggestions?
