Height issues. - 5/23/2008 7:34:18 AM    marblemouth   Posts: 2 Joined: 5/23/2008 Status: offline I'm short.  My feet barely reach the ground, the balls of my feet are all that touches the ground.  It was recommended to me to shave the foam inside the seat of my 98 CBR 600 F3 so that my legs would stand straighter instead of sticking out to the sides when I'm stradling my bike.  Has anyone out there tried to make their seat thinner?  How were the results and how did you do it?

And don't get a 600RR if your short, it's taller than the normal rider position.  Good for us taller guys, but would be problems for shorter guys, I'd reckon. _____________________________ 2005 Front End Found and Purchased!!

But who knows, lower the bike? How short are you? I'm 5'8 or so, and I can just barely reach on the balls of my feet too. You don't really need to reach flat footed. _____________________________ 07 Blue/Silver 600RR Mods: Carbon front fender, 03-06 integrated taillight, Hotbodies flush mount signals, CF tank protector, Shogun frame sliders (in reply to jfunkRR) Post #: 5
