Lynne Posted July 16, 2006 Posted July 16, 2006 I've done it! I am PX my 1996 600 Diversion for a brand new 600 Fazer on Saturday. Can't wait. But does anyone know of any decent cut-down seat for one or any reputable companies who would cut down the original seat in the North West. I'm only 5ft 3 and its a little bit tall. OK to ride, but wouldn't want to drop it if I had to stop at a junction with an akward camber. Had a test ride yesterday and I loved it.

Mandi3136 Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 Platform boots are not such a joke. I spend time on a lady bikers forum and it seems lots of the girls get the boot mender to put an extra sole on their boots to give them extra height - and it works well. Another option would be Daytoma Ladies boot. They are made with and extra inch built inside the boot - a bit expensive but might be cheaper than buy a new seat. Good luck!
