Short legs ;(

[Pasta Burner]

Anybody have any advice for helping out short leg riders reach the ground?  I’ve got an 87 VR and love it.  Problem is I have a 30” inseam and when I have the wifey with me I’m very unstable at stops, esp off camber intersections.  I’m looking into boots with thicker soles but any suggestions are welcome.  I don’t really want to modify the bikes suspension as I want it to perform as designed.  I have an aftermarket Corbin seat that I wouldn’t mind having chopped if necessary.

Yep, thicker soles and lower the seat some. Bet you would be happy with a mere 2 inches.

Rick Buttler.  Does that ring a bell?

I didn't modify my '07's suspension and I am just like most...I want to keep it the way it was designed.  At 5'5", normal Timberland or Red Wing boots does the trick for me.

I ordered these…here’s to hoping 🤞

That might give you 1/2".
