The seat is a bit of a awkwardness for me as well=5´6´ but there is nothing you can really do to lower it. The height is not as much a factor as the encompasing width...OK where in the worlsd have eoyu ever seen a motorcycle seat as wide as the majesty..right nowhere, it belongs on a watercraft or some ATV or something else ):)
Such as if you cut the sides of the top rack and thin it out from the wideee spreaddd, this will do give you about 1 inch of more clearance on each side, then you gotta put the foam back. You can keep the foam out, or trim it giving you more control of the majesty and a minimal of toe paddling when freewheeling a corner or parking. There are other shping configs that can be but yield a minimal result for the amount of work.
This is all a lot of work for something we paid dearly for, but the last and most common resolution is to wear shoes or clog types to give yourself a longer foreleg, like construction soles or thick soled runners at the toes....
Sometimes I just take the seat rack right off and ride the seat carriage, and there is a very noticeable improvement in control handling ease in a chopped/low-rider effect.
