Agreed, I have one, and short legs too. This does slightly increase the ride height thought. Comfort terms the best solution for comfort v £££
I met my IAM chum who has the Multi with lowered suspension, he said he couldn’t tell the difference from the lowered bike to the original test ride he had (he did agree that he might have done if he rode them back to back). He’s fairly short in the leg but also is waiting for a hernia operation and says it’s worked really well for him with no concerns.
Hi, I purchased a pair of Daytona GTX boots which meant that the low seat was no longer required. Has worked perfectly for me with my 29inch inside leg.
You’d never know Or, rather, nobody would ever know. I had some when I had a GSA. At 5’10, I could flat foot it on both sides. I do have a 33” inseam though.
These boots? https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/98183 They'd make me 1" taller!
I've also got these boots with the raised insole, both feet on the ground on my V4S, comfortable and 100% waterproof.
Thx for that, I prefer shorted boots, not a massive fan of full height boots. Ordered a pair or shorter ones.
I put a high insole into my Daytonas, I reckon they stretched the boot as they were not 100% waterproof all of a sudden. No insole now and they are waterproof again. Is the boot a slightly bigger version to take into account the bigger sole?
Yes, the gear lever can be operated, you just have to adjust the height a bit, I don't know if you've seen the video that I posted above, I've been with them for 18,000 km, I raised the position about 1.5cm with the regulating nut that it has, and ready. As for the impermeability, it will be if you put some insoles on it later, this model certainly does not get me wet, and I am telling you with knowledge of the facts, two weeks ago in Teruel on the route of silence, there was some ditch that crossed , that the water reached the ankle of my boot, and it was diluting for about 3 hours
I'm hopefully picking up a pair of these Daytona boots tomorrow. I've attached a photo of how I think the gear lever adjusts, is that correct what I'm thinking? Release the locking nut, then adjust the larger dark nut to the right?
Update to this thread. I done some experimenting with boots and have the lowered seat. I only find the lowered seat comfy in the higher postion. Just been touring through France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. One day due to stopping on a higher camber I lost my footing and ended up having to lie the bike down. Just to heavy to hold up loaded with luggage. Lucky no real damage done. So now booked in to be lowered in a couple of weeks time.
Unless, I'm mistaken, your arrows are pointing to the quick shifter, to adjust the gear the lever, you loosen the bolt on the actual gear lever and simply raise or lower it.
