Of course...

Any bike can be modified to accommodate vertically challenged riders; however, keep in mind that the bike may not function the way it was designed.

I believe that bike has what is known as a 'dog bone' link that can be replaced with a shorter one - otherwise you can install a shorter shock assembly. But again, it may ride rougher and cornering might change.

You can also look into taller boots (no, not stilettos or pumps). I wear a pair of Daytona Lady Star's and absolutely love 'em. They give me about a 3/4" lift which allows me to put more of my foot on the ground.

Check out the online forums for the GSXR as I'm sure there are folks there who can help you.

Good luck! Ride safe!
