Ok guys i've fitted the longer dog bones at 40mm and its still no low enough!

The forks have been lowered 30mm and CANNOT go any lower, the seat has been cut!

There is still a hell of lot of ground clearance, and i have some longer dogbones that were from the GS i had, as the last option i'm gonna fit them, it may hit the deck i don't know but can't give up yet!

Anybody else got any other ideas?

I know the forks seem a lot but i'm good friends with someone who races a tzr and his are dropped 50mm!

HELP i'm running out of options and i'm gutted!

you been given plenty o suggestions in your other threads huni. YOu can't mess abot too much or the bikes handling will be absolute cack, amongst other stuff.

I know, I know you right. But i don't wanna give up! How much more do the boots give you? I have tried em before but they don't do them small enough!

i'm really not designed to ride am i!

My suggestion, as I have no experience of the boots people have suggested. Theres loads of shorter ladies that have suggested them to you. I've got long legs thankfully.
Go with what you've got at the moment. You've gone as far as you really can go as far as the bike is concerned. Get a mate to go out with you and just ride the bike. Everyone cacks emselves at first thinking they're going to drop it etc. I did with mine, it happens.
Just go out when its a clear day. Don't get stressed out, and go for it. You'll probably be surprised. You just need a bit of confidence

Stop being so fixated on getting both feet flat.

99% of the time you will have feet up on pegs where it doesn't matter.

You can do it hun - just needs a little more planning etc and observation of the shape of the road.

Dont give up - you can do ANYTHING you put your mind to.

I've missed a lot of the earlier stuff. But are you really wanting both feet flat on the ground? Why

Can't you make do with your left foot down?

05-03-09, 10:10 PM

i know i won't get two feet flat, i am FAR from it! LOL

I just need a bit more! I literally have one tiny tip toe!

I just worried about cambers e.t.c heavy braking e.t.c! My dad just said bloody well get out there if you drop the bloody thing you drop it! you tried, but i'm just a worrier and thought of dropping it in front of a load of cars!

Argh, prob panicking about nothing!

I'll be honest though, i dropped it tonight! In the garage, feel like a numpty! I was practicing swaping feet which went fine till i miss judge, caught my trousers on the bloody peg and over i went, Foobared my leg good and proper!!! the bike? Fine! lol!!!

Sorry i know i'm annoying just want it so much but so worried!
