I'm 5'6" with a 1996 R1100R with the stock seat at its lowest, still a tad high. What's the best and most cost-effective lowering route? A low seat? Shocks? Any suggestions or directions to go sincerely appreciated.

Not a good idea unless you invest a lot of money in not only shocks but modified stands. We're exactly the same size, and I'm also on the balls of my feet. An inch or so will get me flat-footed. The stock shocks don't appear to be adjustable up or down (the front one anyway). I'll take the seat to a good local upholsterer and get his input. Worst comes to worst, see if I can find a low seat somewhere. Ride safe.
