Just a couple points for reference as i brought this up when i joined due to my bike feeling far too low for me,
I changed the dog bones to 130mm centre to centre
Im 5 foot 11
Can put both feet on floor but i am heavy circa 15 stone
I dont like using the side stand now as it leans over way too far for comfort although it does hold it.
Another observation is that on the centre stand the back wheel only just clears the ground, i had to park on a slight hill to get enough clearance to lube the chain.
It handles much sharper.
I cant find the old dog bones to give the length but it is on the older post i added when i was asking.

Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
