Tiger 1050 Pillion Seat Height

Tiger Pillion... Hi, been looking at a tiger 1050 2008, (not sport) nice bike, good price, but I am tip toes, both feet.. Not too worried about this as I know it can be lowered, and also it has comfort seat, which could be changed back to standard for slightly better reach to floor... However, the difference in height between riders seat and pillion looks quite a step.. Wife would probably see straight over my head. This I think wouldn't be that bad but she's used to "sheltering behind me". More to the point for me would be the raised centre of gravity, given my lack of planted Ness? Anyone had any pillion issues to confirm or deny my concerns... Thanks..

 

Thanks.. Yes, best place to start I guess..
