RE: How to lower seat for short-legged "freeks"

#20

I wouldn't touch the suspension geometry by shortening dampers or moving the fork on the triple clamp.

Lower preload can lower static ride-height a bit. But it also changes handling, so be aware...

What I've done in mine is take it to an upholstery: they've removed some foam from the top/front and a bit on the sides: so now, with a lower and narrower seat, it's easier to reach the ground.
