Hey ladies and gents,
Sorry if this has been covered already, I just dont have the patience to trawl every post and thread to find it out haha,
Im 5'4 and find im just on my tippy toes, I have herd of little things you can do to take some heigh out of the bike, I dont want to do anything that will drasticly mess up the handling etc, I was thinking, would it be possible to maybe change the rear shock to a slightly shorter stiffer one, or the same length fully adjustable and soften up the spring (im 90+ kg) and drop the front forks down on the triple tree a little, any help would be great cheers, even photos and links etc.

Thanks.
