I am a new rider who loves the tw, and I need some help! I am short and need to lower the bike as much possible without messing with the seat. Help!

There are a number of threads on lowering.



A few ideas are:

Drilling a new mount hole on the swing-arm to move the bottom of the shock further back.

Changing the pre-load on the stock shock by moving the spring retaining clip (undocumented mod not found in the service manuals).

Buying/installing a different shock (shorter or lighter spring).



And finally, adjusting the front triple-trees lower on the fork tubes to match the drop in the rear.



Just remember that you will be reducing your available suspension travel.

Just lean to one side when stopped, or tip toes is ok.

Aha yeah...I noticed that too...better late than never PSC

He/She has been busy.
Jeeze....
Diane has grown into hers. I originally dropped the front a bit, more of a placebo than anything I think. After a while, we agreed to raise it back up.
When I suggest she's one day going to be ready for a taller, different bike, I almost know what it's like to get between a bear and her cub...

Actually, there are many reasons for the lack of response in giving thanks, and a lack of gratitude is not one. Proverbs 18:13 To answer before listening--that is folly and shame.
