My wife is thinking about  replacing her '78 R80 airhead with something a 
more powerful and  reliable.  The problem is that she is "inseam 
challenged" and we do  some of our riding on somewhat rough gravel roads 
(which require a little  more sureness in foot placement than flat smooth 
pavement).  She likes  my R1100R but even with the stock seat in the 
lowest position she need about  another inch.

Does anyone have any experience with lowering the R1100R  (we're not 
bound to that model, of course, but it does have the 3-position  seat to 
start with).  Options include tire profile, suspension  components, 
custom seats, etc.>>

Suggest looking at an R1150R  with the lower seat option. They seem to be 
VERY low.
