Hi Phil,

I believe that Honda do a replacement lower seat. I have a 650 transalp and there was a lower seat available from the Honda dealer when I bought the bike and it only cost £55.00 !.

I am sure that I have seen a lowered seat for the 700 in the new brochure

Yes it does. I have the new Transalp 700 ABS. It has a low seat fitted. But still it is taller than other bikes

It costs nothing to raise the forktubes through the yokes by up to 20mm. I do this on my ATs.
