You can always slide the forks in the triple-clamps.
However, I don't think altering geometry is a good idea. What about removing some foam from the seat?
I am a short rider too, so I use a low preload setting front and rear (close to minimum), and I've got used to not beeing able to contact flat both by feet. Only toes, or only one side... It was not easy for a couple of weeks and I considered modifying my seat, but it is ok now.
Thanks for the reply.
I have set the rear to minimum already, but have not adjusted the front. At that, I can never get more than my big toe down on one side, so I sort of pre-shuffle to the left side of the seat before I stop, and make sure I am in first as well. Trouble is, if the road surface has any slope/camber, I can't get my foot anywhere near touching before the bike starts to go over.
Ah well, I will try it with the front set to minimum as well. I just wish that bike makers would realize everyone is not six foot tall and just 150lbs in weight!!
... unless anyone else chimes in ...
