Scoob's I will one day give you back your breaker bar, honest!

Does mean that Jax can easily touch the floor on the SV and she's 4"11', I'm bent knee and flat footed at 5"6'. That's along with the lowered seat.

Have you dropped the forks though as well? It may affect the handling if you don't!

Bike handling didn't feel that different, though I did notice that when I stopped I was putting my feet down to early. Thinking the bike was higher then it was, so I'm probably going to drop the front by about 10mm first.
I'm not sure but I think I could feel that the front was higher then the back, though this might have been my imagination.

OK, 10mm lowered at the front now. Feels much better on the handling, not as light at it was.
