Re: Help - New biker naive and confused!
I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it. If the previous rider was a bit of a short-**** you might have a lowered seat and dogbones fitted already.
If you can find anyone else over there with an SV in your area you could try theirs for size. Just a thought, Keith. |
Re: Help - New biker naive and confused!
Like some others here i'm over 6ft and 14 stone... first thing i said to Ed on my first ride was 'i think i'll need to change some things because of my size', it didn't feel right, but now it just kinda does. Agree with Spiderman and others, try it out for a while, don't make extra work for yourself, it might just be because you ain't used to it.

Re: Help - New biker naive and confused!
Just a thought... if you are basing what you look like on one quick glance in a shop window, it may be that to everyone else your are just a bloke on a bike.
We are all (humans) worried about what we look like to other people and that quick glance may have been distorted. The SV isn't the biggest bike out there, but take a look at some pics & vids on here, I'm sure the rest of them (us) arn't migets and most they all look fine to me. Just a thought... G |

If the bike had been lowered previously, which parts would have been changed?
