[QUOTE="obijohn, post: 1074511, member: 29092"] Curious about the folks who have lowered their FJRs. I'm not the tallest person in the world (5'6", 30" inseam or maybe a little less), but I'm okay with the current bike height. I have my saddle on the low setting, and don't have a problem touching both feet. I am on the balls of my feet (not flat-footed). I've also learned to be willing to scoot over to one side or the other if conditions warrant, and to pick my stopping places carefully (don't stop on a sideslope, or if I do angle the bike so that it is heading up the slope, not across it). I'd worry about lowering the bike due to decreases in lean angle/clearance, and suspension travel. BTW, I have an AE, and think it's better for us shorter riders... don't have to worry about the clutch as much when uneven ground is challenging. [/QUOTE]
