Wayne, I found this (http://www.bmwlt.net/ubbthreads/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Board=K1200LT&Number=251666&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=7&vc=1) over in the HOW section. Hope it's what you're looking for. I didn't read thru to make sure, and if it's not, sorry.
Best

Thanks Dick, That's exactly what I was looking for, guess my "search skills" are a bit rusty.

let me know how that works out for you
its the ONLY real drawback to me about the LT.....
ive tried to grow taller but it looks like i may have to take that route as well ;)
one thing i worry about though.....one of the main reasons the bike is sooo good on long rides is my legs arent bent too much.....the lower you go....the more that changes....
i wish someone would come up with an adjustable version just like the stock type that still has the adjustment.......low position for riding two up and needing the extra handling safety and high position for long run highway riding.....that would be ideal....

Does anyone know if you can just replace your lower seat with a higher one? My bike has the lower seat the PO had installed by the dealer. I am 6'2" so I would rather get a regular seat. Just don't know if I can just pick one up and swap out or not? Also if anyone is interested in trading a lower heated seat for a regular one, I would be interested in that if we could ship quickly so I wasn't without for too long. :D Bike is a 2000 with 24,000 miles I believe the seat was put on with around 9,000 miles on the bike. It's in perfect shape.

ive got a regular height "comfort" seat on my bike
not really seat expert but im thinking it was an upgrade to the bike
id seriously consider a trade for a low seat
where are u at and maybe we could hook up and ride each others a ways and see what we think.....
