Just give her a big cushion to sit on

MrsMattsv finds the Sprint quite comfortable - much better than the SV1000, however she is only 5'4"

That seems to be the norm, smaller peeps find it comfortable but there was obviously a problem for triumph to act upon it with the gt pillion seat lowered etc.
The biggest problem is she hasnt done enough miles, i keep telling her that the more miles we do the easier it will get, but she only goes pillion to pacify me i think.
But hopefully this mod wont cost much so its hopefully a worthwhile exercise.

They are nice, i think Lozzo suggested them but way too much money for what i wanna spend, im gonna make my own, if she gets on ok with them, i can get my mate to machine me some prettier ones.
Also i want about 100 mm drop, they only do 70mm i think.
