I am of similar proportions, and have good luck with the 'sliders' khaki's and cargo pants from http://www.compacc.com/p.cfm/c/1901002/p/16603  - They come in shorter inseams, I did have a pair cuffed a bit shorter.  Solid feeling kevlar protection, very comfortable.

Also the US draggin jeans fit well too for shorter legs.
webspoke, darn it! I wish you would have posted this sooner. I would have liked to try these before the BMW Summer pants. I'll give Comp. Accessories a shot if they don't work out.

Got the BMW Summer (I) pants in today. They are nice however they are too long as expected. I have to cut off at least 5" off each leg. No worries though. There isn't any special stitching at the bottom. It's a single threaded like any other pants. I don't need the velcro adjuster either so that's coming off. I'm not too fond of the Motorrad emblem as well. That'll probably get ditched as well. Sticks out like a sore thumb on a Ducati.  :P
I just noticed that the picture makes my arse look big.  :-*
