Neither is my other halfs, At most junctions, shes got one bum cheek off the seat and only on the ball of the foot thats down, sometimes on tip toes. You just need enough to down to balance when stopped, once your away and moving you should be up on the pegs as soon as possible.

Liz is the same on her Ducati 749S shes just got used to it and it doesnt stop her doing anything she wants to.

I have another friend who had a Ninja 6, she could only get one foot down and that hardly at all, never her stopped her diong anything she wanted to do either.

If you can touch the floor and hold the bike up then it is lowered enough. I know you feel its not but thats just a confidence thing, go and take it for a ride and see how you get on, you wont build your confidence up by leaving it in the garage fretting about lowering kits.

Go on I bet you get on better than you think you do.
