Lower ride height / seat?

[Greybeard]

It's true.

When you get older you start to shrink.

Vertically, not horizontally!

 

So I find myself not as confident on the bike as I should be.

Bobbles, wobbles & foot dabs are now part of the riding experience.

 

Yeah, well, I don't give up so I'm looking for suggestions as to different tail sections/seats/modified sub frames, etc. that will get me another 1.5 to 2 inches.

It's not a museum piece so I'll cut any damn thing to reach my goal.

 

Ideas? Piccies?

Send Rich Maund your seat. Ask him to shave it down and narrow it toward the front. A half inch or so height and an inch width will make a big difference.

 

He is offering a deal right now, check the last post here: http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=10430

While I respect Mr. Maund's work, a 1/2" won't be enough at all.

 

I either need to slam this thing or cut a notch in the middle!

 

Any shocks available with ride height adjustment?

Stilts are cheaper than shocks.

 

Contact Rich Maund & ask him how much he can take out of the seat ht. while still leaving it more comfy than stock. Seat mods are rarely wasted money...

 

Best o' luck!
