Lowering a 2014 SGS
I think it's great that your wife wants to ride her own bike. If you want to help her out with the ride height try lowering the front 1-1.5 in you won't believe the difference that will make .if she needs a little more than get some lowering shocks for the rear. I'm not sure about the seat you have but mean city cycles can modify your stock seat and it will help quite a bit. Now if all else fails than just put that petite wife of yours to the curb and get an amazon woman.just kidding,I'm sure you will figure it out. Good Luck
And then get criticized.
We dropped the forks an inch, and dropped the rear an inch, went with a danny Grey Speed Cradle, and she is just about flat footed with both feet.
I have every confidence in her abilities.
Thinking of taking her boots in and having 3/4" added to the soles, that will get her perfect.
