    Being a massive 5'6'' and not wanting to buy a pair of Bon Jovi boots or Tom Cruise in-steps....does anyone know where i can get my seat shaved?

    Thanks all...and try to keep the height abuse down to a minimum!!

    Have you thought about getting your bike lowered instead??

    You can buy the kits for less money [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

    All the advice i've had (or read) suggests leaving the set up well alone, you can do more harm than good! I only want an inch or so and heard about seat shaving....only problem is, i don't know who does it around here.
    Cheers

    I too am a sufferer of male shortness and I had to buy a bike to suit.

    Thankfully though, my CBR is designed for the Jap market so it's a tiny bike anyway but I've ridden all sorts of bikes and have never really had a problem except with the off roaders :-[

    You can get your bike lowered without affecting the ride but you'll need to do it professionally otherwise you'll feel every stone on the road.

    I think GW's does it to some of their new bikes and Pheonix offers a similar service. Give either a ring to find out what they say [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

    I'd just like to follow that up with....." My male shortness" is just in the height department!!

    Really don't want to adjust the set up. An inch off the seat will allow me to plant my feet, that'll do nicely
