[QUOTE="AGirlOnTheGo, post: 938940, member: 27695"] Let's get this out of the way... Yes I am a girl and yes the FJR is heavy for me on side hill stops- Not to be one who is EVER easily deterred, I wanted to check in to see if any of you have used a Kouba Link on the FJR or any other lowering trick? With the Kouba Link, my concerns is changing the way the bike handles, because it is perfect IMHO and rides like a dream and I don't want to interfere with the handling. I have a friend who added a Kouba Link to a BMW 1100GS, a very tall bike and it has had no impact to the bikes performance- Apples and oranges..duh The other option I have is slightly modifying the seat, I only need about a 1/2 inch to be flat footed So I could modify the padding or if one of you know of any other lowering trick, do tell. The plastic piece that we can move under the seat to raise the sitting position, can it be removed totally and generate an potential lowering? Other thoughts? (yes I can wear big heeled boots, don't think I hadn't thought about it... :D ) Thank you in advance for you feedback, now I am going for a ride cuz it is spectacular outside! [/QUOTE]
