I am looking for a GS with a seat height adjustable to or set at 29in or below... Anyone have anyideas? I lokoed at several sites but most heights arent listed..The bike will be for someone 4'-11" Thanks y'all
 
I think my KAWA 600 eliminator had a 29 inch seat hieght. The bike came out in the 80s and then again in the 90s. they are easy to ride even for a learner and fast as can be in the 1/4 mile.
They are puseycats with a nice easy throttle and plenty of low end torque just for blooping around town.
 
HMM I know we had lookedat one some time ago.. I had her on a 600r(lowered) but she didnt fel comfortable.. She rode a 250r Ninja felt the best on it but felt that if she were to unba,ance at some point(i.e. backing) shed go over.She really likes the MEANSTREAK but wants a sport bike soooooo.. Ill just have to keep my eyes and ears open. Have anyothers?
 
A Honda 250 Rebel and a Suzuki 750 Intruder have short seat heights. My ex is 5'2" and rode both of these bikes with no problems. 8)
 
Re: Looking for a bike with less than 29 in seat height

I took the seatcover off the front section of the seat on my 85 1150E and after making a height guide to run/slide my hot wire cutter along, I cut 2 1/2 inches off the foam surface of the seat. Then, with an air stapler, I reattached the seatcover. The seat height of my 1150 is 28" now. :-)

But Keith, an 1150 is the perfect girlie bike. Small, quiet, light and easy to ride. Just a nice little scooter for the missus. :-)

What I would do to be able to be flat footed while on my bike. Well.... I will be trimming seat foam. The bike needs a more sport oriented seat.

Though back to the original question. If you find a bike that's relitively close, you can give corbin, or any of many other seat mfg/custiomizers and they will knock an inch or two off the foam, and cut angles in the foam o make leg clearance better.

Earlfor, do you have pictures of your resculpted seat? That sounds like something that would be right up my alley. (I'm a grand total of 5'5" tall)
