    Hi All,
    I am a fairly short rider (5'6- on a good day) and I was wondering what other mods soem of the other short VFR riders have done to make the bike a little more friendly for the vertically challenged.

    I am planning on lowering the bike so I can use the sargent seat that came with it-- way to tall now

    I was thinking about bars.. Any opnions between Gen-Mar and Heli-bars?

    Anyway any other mods that have made people more comfortable would be great to know about...

    Thanks,

    5'6"?? You got it easy man!

    I think when you get the bike lowered it should be good.... but I don't know for sure! Bars might improve the ergos.

    Bars would probably improve the ergos. You could get a lowering link to lower the rear too.
