| Hi. My name is Cheryl. My friend and I just bought a pile of junk 1983 Silverwing 650i. We plan to restore it to its former glory. And I want to ride it, too. Or just find another one for myself. I have a problem though. My inseam is 28" on a good day. I know I can reshape the seat and reupholster it. As I have done with other bikes. But this bike must have an aftermarket seat that "lowers" it for short riders without sacrificing comfort. Anyone use a specific Corbin, Mustang, or other manufactured seat for this specific bike and know that my stable 28" won't have a problem at stoplights or holding on a hill? I ride a 1984 Magna 700. Seat height is 29.1. And I can touch comfortably on that with stock seat, but wish I had another inch on that one as well. <-- for reference. |

| Cheryl, I moved your post here as it is for a 1983 Silver Wing motorcycle not the scooter generally covered on this forum. However, here perhaps someone can answer your question! Anyway welcome to the forum.
