BMW R100C
Hi,
I'm new to the forum. I currently own an '04 R1200C and am looking to pick up an R18. However I'm only 5'5" with a 29" inseam and weigh140 lbs wet. Any advice for reducing the reach or other mods for shorter riders would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Lot of comments if you do a search here.
The R18C is one of the easiest bike I have ever ridden.
 
Thanks!

I actually did a test ride and was a bit stretched out. Having shorter legs, I am likely at an advantage with the foot controls and would get the heel shifter and floor boards for sure. My only real concern is reach and those risers you pointed out look like a great option.
