Does Size Matter

:oops: I'm 5/10" but have a longer torso and shorter legs.  I love my Tiger (2008 Black) but really a little tall in the saddle for me.  I traded a Bonny for it a couple of months ago.  Just wondering if any members might have encountered this same problem and found a way to lower an inch or so.  I have front and back setting on soft but still can't flatfoot it even with thick soled boots.  Thanks.

Why do you need to flat-foot it? :?

Guess it really isn't that big of a deal but just don't feel as steady as I did on the Bonny when starting and stopping in heavy traffic.  Probably will get a little more accustomed with additional riding as only have about 700 miles so far.

Buy some Gene Simmonds Kiss Army motocross boots. :lol:

You will look marvellous.

You kinda get used it unless your Stretch. Got my bike a year ago and started with the seat in the low position to get my feet on the ground. Now the seat is in the high position cause I like the riding position better and my feet don't exactly touch. Better ride.

i bought the lowering plates which dropped it just enuf....didnt even need to push the front forks up or modify the side stand.  just needs an extra bounce to get it on the center stand...

Here's an idea. My 2004 seat should adjust low enough for you. Trade?
