Hello and welcome from Adelaide.  I've already hit the big five oh but I don't think I have ever thought of it as the shorter side of life.

My Uncle used to refer to it as "Ducks disease", the bum is too close to the ground.

Welcome Wally. Where in the Sydney West area are you? I assume you are aware you can adjust the seat height. I think one member took some foam out of the seat as well.

Hi, I’m in Caddens, near Penrith...
I have the seat setting to the lowest and have run the front forks up through the triples about 15mm

G'day Wally D
 There are a few ST's around our neck of the woods, There is one for sale out the front of Western Motorcycles ATM. Im not as vertically challanged as you but I find it only becomes a problem when you want to stop  :think1

 I did once read a post somewhere about a 4th seat position. You might find something on the forum

Yeah, the one in Penrith looks good. I prefer a non black bike. Plus, this black one has 42k k’s and $11,500....

I paid $10k with 12,600 k’s
