I am a long time rider,48 years. I have several cycles and a Yamaha Morphus scooter. I want to get a bigger, more powerful , scooter. I am looking at a new 2009 Tmax leftover at a local dealer, price 6700. , no miles, the Tmax looks like a great scooter. I am concerned about the seat height, I do not have long legs and the Tmax is high. I have read all the posts on this topic and see a few solutions, a new seat or cut one down. I think a shorter rear shock(or adjustable) would bring it down also. How much can the seat be cut down. Any new thoughts on this problem. thanks Jim
