This may sound like a dumb question to some of the more experienced
GW riders but is there anyway to reduce the height of the bike. I didn't have a problem touching the ground on my Suzuki but I am on my tip toes. Any help or recommendations?
After reading all the other posts about that on this web site I purchased a used seat in very good condition on Ebay very cheap.
I opened the seat up and cut about 2 inches of foam
(in thin sheets so I could glue some back if I needed to) from the driver area
use one of those old electric carving knives
only cut from the flat bottom of the seat
leave the top "sculpted" area untouched
still PLENTY of foam left.
... left the passenger area stock.
Don't cut foam from where the seat touches the tank or you'll open up a gap.
I was not tip-toe but I went from the balls of my feet to flat foot.
Did 810 miles over the weekend and was very comfortable.
unexpected benefit ... the boys are MUCH happier too.
I can still sell the bike with my brand new "stock" seat if someone needs it.
