[QUOTE="Silver Penguin, post: 697221, member: 1187"] Do your research carefully before buying the Corbin seat. I'm told that they are very comfortable, but push your legs out wider, effectively lessening your footing on the ground. Kouba links work but you will sacrifice ground clearance, ease of using the center stand, and the bike will not lean over so far on the side stand. Gotta be REAL careful where you park. You can also use riding boots with thicker soles. Use a wedge sole, rather than a separate heel, for ease in shifting. Ride with a view to staying away from tricky situations. E.g. when coming into a parking lot, choose a space where you can ride in/ride out. Or back the bike downhill into a space, so you can use the power to get it uphill. It is possible, but a little nervewracking, for people with short legs, to ride an FJR. (My inseam is 26" so with the Kouba links, I have pointed toes on the ground). [/QUOTE]
