    lowering seat issues

    Now there are a few Inazumas about just wondered if anybody else had seat height issues like myself being a short arse.
    I dont want to carve my seat up if I dont have to, I could eat more pies to put weight on but there must be another way  :821:

    hi scoot  give these a ring "www.drshull.co.uk"  Address: 1101 Hessle Rd, Hull, Kingston upon Hull HU4 6SB

    Phone:01482 646188
    Wednesday hours 09:00–17:30

     
    Firstly we get your bike to our workshop whether by you riding here or using our collection service (extra charge for the collection but only fuel costs are charged).
    • Then we measure you up and see how much it needs lowering by to suit you.
    • We then manufacture the linkage to lower the back of the bike to the height, and match the front forks so the bike is back level to keep the handling the same.
    • After this the side stand needs modifying so that the bike is not vertical when left unattended (another problem with just buying the part).
    • Then the suspension is set up to match the rider and your conditions which we take into account.
    • Then you ride away happy with a lot more confidence with manoeuvring and stopping.
    Q. Will it affect the handling?
    A. No. All our customers have reported it does not affect the handling and some have even said it improves it due to the lower centre of gravity.
    Q. What bikes can you lower?
    A. Any bike where the shock does NOT go direct to the swing arm, but if you would like to check call 01482 646188.
    Q. How much does it cost?
    A. It varies from bike to bike but it is between £200-£250 for the full service.
     if its any use for you or anybody

    Sorry to spoil the party, but the Inazuma shock goes direct from the frame to the swing-arm, there is no linkage.

    You'll need a shorter shock to lower the back end
