lowered suspension or not?

I'd suggest trying to ride with the low seat a bit before you commit to it. I tried the low seat on an RT and it was terrible. To make a low seat all they seem to do is remove some padding. Creates a trough that you sit in without the ability to move around to ease your agony. I have a low seat that I took off my R and it even hurts to look at it. I never rode the bike with it mounted.

I am hoping to get to try that this weekend... I think I found one dealer that has an actual low seat (versus a sport seat and comfort seat I rode so far) and see what that's like.
