A very good site for checking out your seating position on various bikes.

Its a nice addition to the site and a good adviser to all.
Now when did the test , result was that I cannot ride the K13S and exactly the same result I get from a BMW similar one. I'm 5'8.11'' high its 1,73 in cm and this time did my maths.
So for me a lowering kit and a low seat did the job.
There is always a way , we only need to try and find it.

As you may know Costas I lowered my bike and also had the seat shaved and re-sculpted and the bike is just perfect now. I can flat foot both sides.

Had the Sargent also delivered in low version and then re-sculpture it by adding some padding in order to support better my bum and fit exactly in seat, as many know Corbin and Sargent seats are a bit slippery, that alternation fixed that.

Definitely a fab site!
It lead me (against my will) to try a BMW, having compared the leg space on a K1300S compared to an Aprilia. I have stupidly long ones...

According to that I recon 90% of us are riding wrong bikes so keep on riding yours and enjoy. As I'm sure you do.
