I know I can get the lowered seat but having such a short arse i still need to lose about a couple of inches (ooh er). Many thanks Ems

Utter bollocks! I've lowered mine by 25mm and the centre stand works as well as it ever did. You should find a thread I put up about lowering the F8 if you do a search.
