Is there any way you could lower the rear end of the bike as the rider isn't able to put both feet on the floor comfortably?

We thought about aftermarket rear shocks (adjustables) and wondered wether it would be the easiest solution?
If it is the easiest solution, how much are they roughly?

All help much appreciated.

The Gixxer4 is bloody tiny anyway!

if you lower the back end it's going to seriously mess with your handling.

Best bet is to look at the seat, start hacking foam out of it.

The Short Bike List has some very good advice and information on for short riders. I'd try and work with what you've got first.

Could probably get the opposite to jackup plates(dog bone plates) by making the shorter in length but as its been said it would fuck up handling.
