Brought mine home (pics)
Well, the happy day has come. I am thrilled about my 10R. Here are a few pics:

Outdoor Shot:
I LOVE HER!!
The only problem is that she is to tall for me. What can I do ? I have thick soled shoes and have already had the seat shaved & I can barely get more than my tippy toes both down at the same time.
I can use just one foot fine, but 2 feet would be better. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rich

Rich> Measure the rear suspension links (dogbones) pivot to pivot; you may find another set of links that can be substituted for the stock links. I used my stock links from my 12R on a friend of mines Gixxer 600 and it brought her bike down to a more manageable height for her. I am sure that someone is already racing the bike at the drags and will have links available soon or you can have someone machine you a set.

Does anyone know the math on these dogbones...as in:
1" longer = 1" lowered or
1" longer = 1/2" lowered or
1" longer = 1/4" lowered etc???

reilly809> You are still waiting? I was talking with the guys at Troy City Garage and they had them coming in three at a time. I know Ray's in SC had all four clours on the floor when I went there to pick mine up a week ago.
