[QUOTE="RBEmerson, post: 1402010, member: 91458"] Although I'm very skeptical of frame lowering, which limits suspension travel, "in tough times, even the devil eats flies". Tiptoeing a bike is, IMHO, dump[B]s[/B] waiting to happen. I've seen it happen too often on too many different bikes, from a Suzuki 500 that had good touring potential to an RT going down, 2-up. If someone can't flat-foot an FJR, time to think about radical changes or picking a bike that fits. I have about a 33-34" inseam, and I need to be careful about staying upright while flat-footed. I get it that folks with shorter inseams can manage the FJR. To answer the OP's OP, think real hard about what you're getting into. YMMV. [/QUOTE]
