Reduce seat height

[harrythai]

My girlfriend has problems with the seat height on the Yamaha Grand Filano 2020 scooter. A few inches less would be ideal.

Does anyone know any advice? Can the seat be made lower or are there lower alternative seats?

You can buy low rider seats from most motorbike accessories shops. 

Lower, but probably not as comfy.

its also possible to go to a big bike shop

and ask where you can have custom seat made

THe cheapest way is to go to a shop where they re-cover motorbike seats.

They will just cut some material to make it lower and it will not cost much,they can actually re-use your old cover.

Had one done for a short person also.Many of those shops around.

Thanks for the hint. I already tried this, but only found offers for scooter models 2015-2017.

Okay, I will try that next. Thanks a lot for the hint!

THe cheapest way is to go to a shop and get her a high heel pair of shoes ... works for mine ...and nice too ,,

Ours is a bit high too, best bet is to get it recovered, remove a load of padding, costs peanuts. Where I live they do a cracking job for 200bht....

This seems to be the solution, I will look around in Khon Kaen to see who can do this. Thanks for the tip!

This is probably one of her favorite solutions - thanks for this attractive hint! ????

Another alternative is to buy aftermarket adjustable rear shock absorbers, it would make the <deleted> end a lot harder though.

How would this reduce the seat height?
