Oh savvy Veterans of the Org, I have often relied on your guidance, expertise and input for major decision. OBVIOUSLY, I want to make sure that this gets done right and will not compromise my wife's Safety. OK, so you will say "yeah but Angel, lowering a bike 2 inches compromises it anyways" yeah we all know that Captain obvious, BUT, it has to be done...so here ya go on THAT

So without further ado, what do we do and what is better...

Dog Bones & Lower forks

Cut shocks and springs ( more money yeah I know)

Rhonda's just at 5ft 1", I tried the whole set up boards and see where she feels ok, once I measured that roughly puts it at 2" lowered.

I'm sure this thread my deriorate into..well who knows, but thats ok as long as I get some GOOD advice form the peeps I trust...so let's commence shall we?

Dog bones, and let the forks slide north

Dog bones, and let the forks slide north

Thats what I was thinking, I just want to make sure that its going to be appropriate since the spring and shock thing is also preferred by some...

Dog bones, and let the forks slide north

+1.... engine hoist, strap, crowbar and rubber mallet... that should do the trick.

Tobin seat for a good start??

 

[Aquaman]

You dont need to put some hi po rear shock in angel. unless she is some serious racer. I know you can do this job by yourself man. Bring it to the bash. you'll get it done

Tobin seat for a good start??

My Tobin did not help me touch the ground any easier....it is about the same as it was before the Tobin. Lycan...my suggestion is to stretch her legs...Sometimes you have to do that with Ewoks...

toss some adjustable dog bones and lower the forks. Just try and keep the overall geometrey the same as best you can.

the other option would be to make sure she always wear platform boots. How the stretch to the handle bars? Does she have short arms too?

No shes not like mutant or anything everything else is GTG, range and movement on the pegs and shifter, Handlebars etc it's just the height to ground cause she's 5ft 1 is all
