RE: How to lower seat for short-legged "freeks"

My waist line is about ten inches bigger than it was 20 years ago and doesn't seem to have any intention of shrinking. Fingers, ankles and back all seem to get stiffer and stiffer.
Now, it occurs to me that smaller wheels could lower the bike considerably, and help with some things like finding tires more easily. I am not an engineer and might be way off base on this. A good upholsterer might also help in cutting down the seat, but that doesn't seem like it would get us very much closer to the ground.
Good luck with getting the road closer to your feet.

If only they were 17” wheels. I think that’s one thing everyone with a CB1100 could agree on.
