|  Lowering my Katana 600 I'm only 5ft 5in so there are very few choices of bikes for me out there. I bought a Katana 600 because it has one of the lowest seat heights out there and is very comfortable however I would like to lower it a little more for more control at stops and starts. I've found that on a flat surface I have no problems but on inclines it's a problem to control the bike. My questions are 1. How much can I safely lower it without affecting the performance of the bike. 2. Where can I go to check out after market kits to lower it and are there any suggestions about what to get. |

| You might want to ask this question at www.katanaplanet.com as well. There are many Katana owners there and someone should know.

| Yep, I've signed up for those forums as well however it still says I don't have permissions to read or post on their forums. I've e-mailed them and awaiting a response. In the mean time can anyone tell me what performance problems I could run into lowering a bike by a 1/2 in - 1 inch? |
