How do I make my CBR 600 RR fit me?
I sure hope to get some good info. on this, so here goes! I am in the process of getting a CBR 600 RR. I went to look at them a couple of times and since i am only 5'4", I can quite touch tippie toed on both sides of the bike. I talked to a salesman and he told me that i can change the, "dogbones" on the back of the bike and lower the front shocks to make it lower and fit me better. I was also informed that it takes away from your speed in the corners. I was wondering if you pretty much need to slow way way down or is it safe to have some speed? If there are any other suggestions for me, please post them, at this point i need all the suggestions i can get, Thanks!

RE: How do I make my CBR 600 RR fit me?
I would lower it to at least flat foot one side and ball the other.
My roomate just lowered his r6, and said it made his cornering worse. But he gave it time and he can still keep up with me so I think your ok to lower it. It keeps your front end DOWN!! freal. My roomate can barely clutch it up now lol... but then again he's like 2 inches off the ground. PLUS, IT GIVES YOUR BIKE A TOUGHER STANCE.
But you can roll 1 footed, i know alot of ppl that do it.
