seat height

I was told when i bought my 1100s that the seat height was adjustable. having taken the seat off thats just not true.

anyone got any advice on gaining a little bit more?

mill bmw had no idea when i asked about a taller seat. in total they wanted £700 for a seat and sub frame (total chimps!)

H/T,

If you want to raise the seat height then get a shorter torque arm (assuming you have a standard 'S'), or a replacement shock with ride height adjustment (Wilbers).

Buy a secondhand seat unit and do your own R+D,find a local seat guy and ask what he can do,if all else fails revert to the stocker,i was never happy with the stock seat,sliding with my buns up the tank so i took a picture of the Wunderlich seat(with a hump at the front) and asked for a copy,and he did!!,seat must be 4/5 years old now.

H/T,

I know you can get adjustable rear sets for the bike, but I am no expert. I am sure somebody on this site will be able to help out, try this site but they are not cheap.

There again you could stand in the rain for a few days and see if you shrink. There are a few on this site who are not vertically challenged.

does anyone have a picture of a wunderlich seat?

i think i'm going to try get the seat built up and covered in something less slippy.
