Suffering from "short fat hairy legs" syndrome, I am finding it difficult to paddle the machine out of parking situations. I bought a Corbin Gunslinger low profile saddle which bought me about an inch and I have boots (HD product) which, while not putting Elton John to shame, have the thickest soles and heels I could find. I still need that extra inch. Can anyone offer advice on this. Grateful as always, Kevan |

Have you considered trading across to an XT? |

if your happy with all all other aspects of uly then might just be just a case of forward planning looking for a better parking space with easy direct exit , or walk at side of bike until clear exit . i'm 6ft 6 tall and at times it is easier to walk the bike to were you want to go rather than paddle . |

Never tried one, so cannot comment on its quality etc, but for the rear shock there is this - http://www.twinmotorcycles.nl/webshop/a ... k_absorber |

i had a wilbers shock with all the bells and whistles built to order - this achieved a 45mm seat height reduction which was perfect for my 5'8". couldnt find another way of dropping it more than 25mm which you can get from the little ring thingies. cost a bit though ! |

Ooooor.... do the Bomber conversion!  it'll buy you another inch and looks cool too  http://www.ukbeg.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9621
