I have been looking at ways to lower the ride height on my MVTV as I have a 30" inside leg and I am very tiptoe at a stop which makes me feel insecure.
I have a Ducati Hyperstrada low edition which is great except I grind pegs and levers regularly and I am no Leon Camier! For this reason I am not keen on dropping the ride height via the suspension.
Upon further investigation I found a low seat option for £206, quite a lot to spend to lose 1cm but I did it anyway. It has definitely helped. Pictures attached.
I have also reduced the pre load to the manuals comfort settings as well as the rebound and compression, as it was in sport setup. The bike is far more comfortable to ride and is about 1cm lower overall. Both of these things have achieved my goal. Ideally I'd like the bike a little lower but it's no longer scary on cambered roads.
The seat too just a week to arrive at Cupar Motorcycles, very impressive. It's more comfortable than the original and looks great.
I hope this helps my fellow shorties out there.
