Frankenstein boots.......
at 5'6 / 29" inseam, 65% of ALL bikes have always been "off limits" to me...well, not wanting to again return to my previous HD low-seat / no suspension travel days, and having just purchased a mint 1999 R1100R, I took my SIDI riding boots to an old-timey cobbler and had him sand off the original boot tread / glue on a very thick VIBRAM sole. YIKES !!.. Instant 1 1/2 inch hight / Frankenstein boots.!...NICE !!.For sure I'll never be as comfortable as I would be were I an NBA star, but along with some saddle time, and thinking ahead as you ride into a parking lot, I am confident enough to not be returning to the undesireable alternatives to my R1100R..........
The amazing front suspension is one reason to not mess with the factory hights, so go for a pair of Monster Boots !! cheap at the price..
