Lower Bike or Raise Shoes

[Frosty]

I thought about lowering my NT700. I don't need to flat foot but I need enough surface contact to push the bike around when on it. A mistimed slip puts the bike down.

Instead of lowering the bike I took some old boots to the shoemaker and had him resole them with an extra insert in the sole. Much more contact. With the increase in sole thickness, shifting changes a bit. Otherwise works so far.

Additionally I will have the seat sitting position lowered at Rich's on Puget Sound.

Spencer Motocare in Stuart, Florida, may be able to help........they can lower some seats......about a one week turnaround and they will do new foam....uses the original seat cover.......usually less than $100 plus shipping.......they did one for us here at the Retirement Home....stock height, but new foam.......it is much, much more comfortable.......no numb butt.......check their website.....
Always ride safely and keep your airspeed under control.
