Okay I took the advice and dropped the front sliders about 1/2 inch in the tripple tree, and it did lower the front, however not really any real difference, so I am considering going more say 1 inch or even a bit more.
Keep in mind I am trying to be able to touch the floor with both feet flat. What ill effects might dropping more bring?
I guess it is just me but this bike still feels top heavy to me so it is still a bit intimidating, I bought a Rebel 250 for my wife last week and drove it home from Redding about 50 miles, and I don't know if it is the lightness of it or the fact that I touched the ground flatfoot but I felt more confident riding it than my FZ6. i love the FZ6 power , and maybe I just need more time on it to get used to it, but I feel that touching flatfoot would go a great deal in helping. i am also planning on having my seat reshaped.
