Are you looking to do this just because your feet arent flat on the ground, or are you looking into doing it for performance reasons??

well my feet are flat if im sitting right up on the gas tank but when i ride i sit back away from the tank and if it was goin to be as easy as maybe changing the spring setting for just a slight drop i was goin to do it. but sliding back on the seat when im riding is alot easier and cheaper than lowering it.
thanks though

Yeah, i hear ya. I was the exact same way. Im not a big fan of the aftermarket seats. Lowering it one in. gave me what i wanted as in being flat footed while sitting back, it had a better stance, and it did a lot for the take off.

I dont know man. $100, and youve got yourself a better looking bike, a bike that is better off the line, AND your flat footed. All 3.

Does it really make that big of a difference if you just lower the rear with the linkage and not the front?

you may want to double check that corbin seat bit. I am about 5'7, and with the stock seat I can get the ***** of bothmy feet on the ground. with the corbin, it is too wide, and I can only put my toes down. If I slide off one side I can flat foot. but I cannot back the bike up with the corbin seat.

Ok so I have the direct opposite problem. I am 6'2" and right now my bike is sitting at give or take 30". What can I do to raise the height? I am not afraid to work on it with the right direction. I have a 99 f4. So any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Any videos would be even more helpful as well. Thanks
