Lowering MV Agusta F4

[ThunderGuts]

So a colleague has ownership of an MV Agusta F4 from 2006. It's his dream bike so he bought it without really thinking, but he's vertically challenged and is struggling with getting his feet to the floor. Googling isn't finding anything on lowering kits; does anyone know of either a lowering kit or a company that might do something bespoke?

Cheers

How vertically challenged are we talking?

An F4 isn't a bike I'd want to try and lower, it doesn't have any seat cushion to lose, and I'd hate to mess with the suspension height and risk ruining the handling.

I've seen people ride around high seats before by dropping a cheek off of the seat when stopped (so the other thigh is sort of on the seat).

Platform boots?

I wouldn't worry if I was him, you don't need to be tall to sit on the curb while waiting for the AA!

I wouldn't be gutted, it's 100% going to leave him up shit creek.

Can he get a toe on the floor? If yes then man up and JFRI. I have this with most bikes I ride, and you just get used to it.

On loads of bikes I'd be right behind him with lowering, but I really don't think an MV is the bike to try with it. longer dogbones might lower the rear but it'll mess up the geometry and might even cause the wheel to make contact with the 4 exit exhaust...

Daytona make MStar boots that have a built in wedge and platform, they are quite pricy but they do help. An old member of this forum had the female equivalent, namely Ladystars and they were really good for her.

Tell him to either keep it as an ornament or just ride it I reckon.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

He's too short for the ride height adjuster to be of use?

I find high heels help.
