2000 Night Train

I need some help. I'm fixin this bike up for my wife who is only 4'10". I have it lowered enough for her to sit on it flat footed. Problem is with the forwards. I figure on puttin on some of those floorboards that are adjustable. But I need the brake pedal kicked out so she can keep her leg off the ac cover plus the pedal needs to be about 2" or a little more closer (to the rear)to the seat and the shifter needs to be shorter about the same.

Anyone?

thanks

Got a new seat on it, Le Pera Silhouette, low profile. Am thinkin about a set of adj floorboards, but have to something with the shifter to shorten it, or bring it back, and need to do the same with the brake pedal.

Does she fit if she is about an inch more forward in the seat? My girlfriend has the same issue, I have been trying to get her to ride her own bike. She is just under 5'

She fits good, is flat footed on the seat and can reach the forward pegs, barely. I think I can reset the shifter and maybe shorten it if necessary. The brake pedal tho, needs to be further out and back. Workin on that one, not sure tho...

I know you can get spacers to move the pedal out further,I got some from hd after I put my heel rests on,and as far as putting them further back,I agree w/ dynabob about the seat that sets the rider forward,good luck
