Default '05 F4i lowering

We bought a 2005 f4I for my wife, which is 5'2". The salesman assured
us that it could be lower to better fit her.
We have purchased and had installed the only factory lower link
offered and she can only get one foot on the ground at a time.
She loves the bike and doesn't want to sell it. However, I am
concerned for her safety. Particularly, quick stops.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and been able to
further lower the bike beyond factory spec?

Default RE: '05 F4i lowering

I had put in an adjustable lowering link and it allowed me to touch my feet flat on the ground. And I am 5'4". But when I rode wheelies I would bottom out when I landed my front end. So I put my stock link back in.

Thats where i gotit. Works great, took me like 3 hours to put it in. And only 45 minutes to take it out. The first time you do it, it usually takes longer. lol
They sell theres of 84 plus shipping, if you want to buy mine, I will sell it to you for 75 and i will cover the shipping.

It was a Vortex link. It lowered the back 1" and the front 2"

well thats quite a bit. you could maybe drop the back a little more but she's definitely going to scrape on speedbumps and stuff like that.
