Re: Too short?
I finally got the lowering link and it worked very well indeed. I've managed to ride the bike a few times and I'm still not able to get both feet on the ground..only 1 foot at a time. You guys are right - it's not necessary at all to have both feet flat in order to ride the Monster, it's a matter of confidence. I'm still struggling getting on and off the bike as I have to do it without engaging the side stand (leg not long enough to reach the side stand). :-[ But thank goodness the bike is so much lighter than my Sportster and backing it or holding it without the side stand is still manageable.
I'll have to gather my guts everytime I'm going for a ride. Told myself if I don't brave thru it - I'll never ride it and it's too expensive to just display the bike or let someone else ride it for me. I'm seriously thinking about changing to a city bar or having a riser to add height to the bars coz I'm riding the Duc like a sportsbike with my belly lying on the tank. It sure is tiring and adding too much weight to the wrists. ???
Still - there is no stopping me despite being a women with plenty of constrains, height being one most critical challenges when it comes to riding. But braving through such challenges makes us better by the day.... ;D
