My last F3 back in 03 or so was lowered 1/8" in front and lifted something similar in the rear. I think that clunker handled pretty well for something that had more miles than most peoples cars. ;)

I'm 5-8 and am always one footin' it on the RR. With leathers it's even worse. I thought these things were supposed to be designed for short japanese fucks? :p

i am 5'7" and weigh 125-130, but ill be damned if im gonna let whatever bike i get handle like ass because im short. i have good balance and dont mind one footin it :D

actually, when craizie had his r6 i could plant my feet, and i can touch the balls of my feet on his r1 so i guess i have long legs and a short body :confused:

Shimmed the rear, flushed the forks with the tree and a few hours in tuning. I like my twisties. If I wanted the low n long look I would've bought a Busa to pose at Starbucks with.

Mines lowered 2" in the front and 2" in the rear and being it's all I have ever rode it's fine for me. I have scrape marks on my boots where I have drug my feet/pegs.
