good advice!Stop worrying
Get riding
I have just completed a 3,000 mile alps tour ( with too many passes to list ) , Swiss, Austrian , Italian . All with auto lowering suspension and heavily laden . No issues whatsoever . Not a BMW though and no sticky out cylinders.

Look, look again then look once more where you want to go… have fun and don’t be like this Adventure (with a capital A) rider and you’ll be ok.
R1300Gs did 3000 miles in the Pyrenees last year and 3000 miles in the Picos / Spain last month all with adaptive ride height and no issues.

So… this turned out to be a lot of worry for nothing (story of my life)
Currently on the ferry at Rotterdam after around 2000 mile tour.
Rotterdam - cochem - Baden Baden - feldkirch - Livigno - Grindlewald - colmar - Rotterdam
Loads of passes including umbrail / Stelvio Furkha and grimsel and loads inbetween.
Bike was superb. Ride height not a problem I just let it do its thing. Handled brilliantly two-up and luggage. Handled passes or autobahn or whatever else inbetween. The best GSA yet….

Blimey what a great thing to have been able to doyes - i do that (- not sure you have to be "less tall" for that to be effective mind)
My daughter has been doing alps trips with me since she was 11 and is a very experienced co-pilot for this!
(- shes 22 now, and, sadly, i suspect this might be out last daddy-daughter trip for a while as she will be a junior doctor next year and enter the world of 'work')
Yes - I’ve been very fortunate to be able to do this.Blimey what a great thing to have been able to do
Although I think the mother-in-law wanted to call social services when she heard about our first trip
