Paid a visit to fowlers today and had a good look at a CBF500. But at 5ft 2 i'm on my tip toes (or hopping from foot to foot :-[) Anybody know the best way to go about getting the bike lowered??

Oldie mod.. is to have the seat foam reduced in thickness, loose a few inches ..trade off maybe a little comfort. Worth having it done Professionally for a few quid. 8-)Quote:

its so expensive to be short :'( If i just took some foam out the seat how much do you reckon i could lower it by?
How about some of Gary (lock up yer children) glitters old platform golden glittery boots :)
Yes, they just remove the cover shave out a acurate layer of foam and refit cover. dead easy..could diy if you felt confident about it.

...Were thinking outside the box here hmm thats abit techie??? Have heard about knee transplants which can give you a few extra inches!! Or i could pay less for a lowering kit ::)
would a smaller bike not be the easiest option? ;)
