If it's just the mutleys height that's a problem surely there's a SAD (short arse ducatista) modification that can be done to lower it, I know of at least one Hyperstroodle with a similar mod ( that has the OAP Comfort pack) having said that it does look bloody odd
The shape does look like it would do you some damage :Wideyed: but in use it's not a problem. It's not as sharp as it looks - which kind-of sums up the bike actually!
Can you drop the yokes down the forks a bit on the multi? 15mm might do the trick and give you quicker steering as well.
If you come along Saturday you must try sitting on mine. I spent a couple of weeks on a GT with Skyhook and found it too tall!
Get a Blackbird bradders. I know they're old and fat, but hey... Still bloody fast, extra comfy, and they handle surprisingly well if you jack the back end up (6mm packer slots in on top of the shock, ten minute job and the seat's still low enough for shortars...the vertically disadvantaged).
