It's definitely a much wider seat. I think the Corbin or a re-worked seat would be the way to go.	yox185 NOW ONLINE Expert Max National Sarcasm Society "Like We Need Your Help" Posts: 535 Thank you received: 343

it will definitely help lowering the seat and adjust the thriple clamps an inch. Cheapest way before looking at other dearer options. VMAXD	VMAXD OFFLINE Gold Max Posts: 1431 Thank you received: 741

So im a short guy, 5'4". I just bought a stock bike. Will I be able to drive it at all?

And should i do a 2" drop or 1"?

The prudent way is to try before you buy mate. :weight:

It is a big heavy powerful handful of a mother F_____r.
There are some options availible e.g. lower suspension (most say 1 inch is best)
Adjust forks in triple clamps. All depends how you ride?
Lower seat and maybe a complete lowering package from "exactrep.com.uk"
I hope you manage OK

so for the record and history on this thread, I got the bike and I am driving it eventhough I'm 5'4" with a 28" pant inseam. Only caveat is that I'm leaning on one side when stopping. It's manageable right now, but have an appt to get it lowered tomorrow.
