[QUOTE="krashdragon, post: 193343, member: 1713"] Dont' forget... lowering the seat is not a problem... get a lower aftermarket seat... I simply shaved my seat and there's two layers of foam... the thick stuff is on top. Once that's cut off, there aint' much padding left! (Dont' ask!) <G> But if you lower the bike itself (I have both Koubalink's and shorter's Wilber's front and back), then different things may scrape, depending on your level of riding. ( My level is outright chicken, so far no problem with scraping stuff) And the sidestand may need to be rebent so the bike is not standing too upright. I also took off my centerstand.. that did scrape, even with my riding. Ok, so with no bags or tailpack on it, I've been told it looks like a streetfighter...<BG> At least until peeps notice the GPS and other farkles... Mary [/QUOTE]
