ride height

I have a 2010 suzuki boulevard c50t. I've set the suspension to the softest setting but find it still a little too high as I can only touch the ground with my toes. I'm hoping not to cut down the seat as has been suggested. Are there any safe alternatives I can do to the bike it only needs to go down 1 or 2 inches.

Try a different seat
by: Westy

The Suzuki brand gel seat for the C50 will lower your riding position by an inch or two, but it also pushes you back from the bars a bit, so you might need to combine the seat with a set of pullback risers or something.

Gel seats are available on ebay pretty frequently, so it shouldn't cost much to at least give it a try.

lowering bike
by: Anonymous

I lowered my Yamaha 950 an inch and it really helped. Since you're only touching with your toes, you might have to lower a couple of inches. My lowering kit is a Baron's.

Thanks Susanne

I have looked online for the lowering kit and this is the way I will go. So thank you for the suggestion. I went for my first ride last week and just need that extra inch or so to feel fully comfortable.

Cheers

Lowering kits
by: Susanne

West End Motorsports(I think that was their name) has a lowering kit for your bike. Will drop it 1-2 inches. Just use lowering kit with the name of your bike in the search and several pop up. Spent 75.00 on one when I had a Ninja and it made a huge difference to me.
