Aeroflow
A few years ago I had the same dilemma. Ended up buying an Aeroflow extra tall and I love it. Much quieter, sends the wind around or over me. I live in southern Arizona and ride just about every day....

They're closed Sunday & Monday. Should be back up Tuesday. Very atypical service for them. I've been dealing with them for over 30 years. Wonderful service. I'll be watching your post.

Lower the Seat
Lower the seat, it's a lot cheaper and easier than the suspension. I rode an 1100 GS no problems. Got an 09 GS and just got used to it. If it's going to be really hairy dirt riding, lower the seat,...
