Looking for direction
I have an inseam of 29.5 and had an incident where an elderly lady was backing into me at a stop sign, while on an incline, with gravel underneath from rain washoff... needless to say i tried scooting out of the way but my short legs just touched the road and the gravel was sliding...had to dive of the bike as she was about to tag me. She just missed the bike, I came up with a rock and she sped off. I love this bike but if it is unsafe for me to ride it then things have to change. If you are still on here I would love to know what you used so I might do the same! Thank you!
to lower my '92 K75RT I went with the Progressive 412, which lowers the rear by 3/4" and then slid up the fork tubes in the triple clamps by the same amount....really helped the handling too, in my opinion. I'm 5'8" and really needed the lowering. Here's a link to the Progressive product line....the small note at the bottom indicates the 3/4" shorter shock that you can order through your favorite retailer.
