600 bandit, lowering kit and cut down seat

works a treat


Especially if you know someone who'll get the kit then come fit it for you and lower the front to match too while you drink wine on a camping chair 27

Speed Triple 955i (02-04)

icon09 Aug 2008 20:56		 I am 5 ft 5 with short legs and thought my only options where cruisers however I did try a zzr 600 that I could touch the ground on but always wanted a Triumph, so bought the speed trip. I an tget one foot down but not both by sliding over on the saddle.

First problem getting on the bike, tend to get on and off like you would a horse. Second is camber of roads and pot holes. So far fallen off the bike 3 times at almost standstill. I do not know why all these bikes have to have such a high seat height. why do they not make more bikes that have adjustable seat heights?

The plus side is that your knees fit into the tank great. If you are short and can get one foot down and can balance he bike with just one foot then you are OK.

Anyway this guy is 5ft 1ins and it didn't matter what bike he sat on he couldn't get both feet on the deck.


Yeah, yeah, " I know a guy"..............

So if you do replace the Gixxer with a Speed Triple Flash, maybe one of these would do the trick
