Inseamed Impaired
 
Is it possible to drop the seat height of a kawi KLR 650 or a Honda XR 650 down to 30" 750 mm. I know the BMW f650's come out or the box at that height but I'd hate for my decision on "which bike" to come down to seat height.

i think any bike can
but you will lose suspension travel

You can also cut your seat. Use a stronger foam than the original one. It's a lot more comfortable.

Don't forget that once loaded, your bike will be more lower.

buy something else
 
I actually think it would be a good thing to buy another bike, then send kawa/honda/suzuki a picture of it telling them of your decision. Why these modern day manufactureres think we want quarter ton+ bikes with metre high seats is beyond me. Especially high seat 'offroad' bikes.

For reasons of ergonomics alone i really beleive my next bike will be an Enfield Electra ( with Right hand shift of course)
