skinny ass on ma tip toes

on my two Tigers both have Corbins.  I also have a stock seat not installed.  One of the corbins is trash though.

Butt.....  yes pun intended.... I have a small butt... seats are a little wide  for me and my skinny hips it seems; though I only sat there contemplating for about 10 mins.  My toes reach the ground thats it. (I'm 5'8 but apparently shrinking?)

Any suggestions?

I will search later but if anyone has link(s) to threads  on lowering the steamer please aim me in that direction

the easy quick way is to roll the eccentric chain adjusters over 180 degrees and you can lose 3/4 to an inch of height and the pull the fork tubes up in the triple trees to match at about 3/4 to an inch . you must also shim the rear chaingaurd mount up about 3/4 of an inch to keep the chain from rubbing

and with the stock seat it doesn't make you spread your legs as wide so you can touch down easier too with out the corbins .

Im the kind guys my age and older hate... and cougars love.  10 years older than I look and could not be fat even if I tried.  Granted 30+ years of gymnastics has something to do with that too.

Unfortunately can't find a place in my heart for Cougars. :shock:   Tigers.... now that was love at first site. :lol:

Wow!  You don't even know me and you are right.  I hate you!  Skinny and young looking and you're hoping I could give you some advice on how you can feel more comfortable on your Tiger?  Gain some weight so the suspension compresses more...... :roll:

Once you put the new Donk in the chassis it'll sit lower...

You could possibly trade a Corbin to someone for a stock seat which is lower.  I'm 5'8" also and the Corbin is just a bit too tall for me.  I have thought about doing Mustang's trick to lower the bike, but have so far been too lazy to do it.

I also have a stock seat that came extra with one of the purchaces. So I'll have a Corbin to sell.
