Possible convert to the SV
:riding:
Hi, Have been advised to pop in here by someone who knows me and rides an SV. I currently ride a cruiser due to being quite short but am finding the weight difficult. I have looked at most bikes (though I don't want a sports bike) but they are all too tall, was told today at a dealership that I can go next week and test ride their lowered SV but would like to hear from other "vertically challenged" SV riders especially ladies. I'm looking for soemthing fun, funky and lightish so getting it parked or off the stand is't a chore. Any advice gratefully recieved. :flower: |

Re: Possible convert to the SV
My wife is 4ft 11 and rides my SV, though it is the earlier curvy model as they are a tad lower then the pointies. Its had 20mm take off the back via longer dog bones and 10mm drop with the front forks, then 45 mm off the seat. Normall hieght 805mm (31.7inches) now 740mm (29.13 inches).

Was going to havis but he's parted with the seat now, hoping to test ride a lowered demonstrator though. |
