As a bloke, but a crap one, I'll put in another good word for the off road school. They taught me to be much less concerned about the weight of the bike, and to get off to push it around. I'd also suggest getting a light bike, ideally one you don't care much about, maybe a trail bike. Ride it to a standstill, push it around, mount and dismount via the footpeg.... Once you're happy doing it with a little bike, it turns out you can do the same things with a big one.
Thanks for all your comments, the bike is the lower suspension model so no further i can go on that score lol
Not true.
Mark Hooton of cymarcbikeparts.com does lowering bits for the front of the riders seat. Takes it down about another 10mm. Not that much money.
Will try to find the correct link.

There you go.

Thank you for all your help guys, definitely some really helpful info and i will be looking at all the options, met a lady tonight on a gs and she had put risers on that brought the bars back a bit and she thought that really helped, not sure i can get much done before i head off to France in 9 days lol
A photo of the wife road testing a low chassis GS last summer, she didn't like it! Can't see why myself?

Hi, I'm female and ride a 1200 GS, I've bought a pair of Daytona Lady Pilots, they give a couple of inches rise at the heel but also have a slight platform so feel only slightly raised when you put them on, they're really comfy and means I can get my feet flat down for manoeuvring/stopping, just gives that little bit more confidence.
+1 on the Daytona Lady Stars, or try Altberg Hogg Ultralite, which have a thick sole and good tread and are much cheaper
