    hi guys and gals ,i recently got myself an 09 tiger 1050 ,only problem is i was always used to sportsbikes ,small and low where my feet could reach the ground ,finding it really difficult to reach the deck on this girl ,tippy toes and hard to hold up when i come to stop ,,question is can i adjust the height of the back end down to suit my wee short legs ?

    Or even here.

    Hi Alex I did this mod on my 2006 955i Tiger because I wanted to feel a little more secure when coming to a halt. The modification achieved that objective for me, without any negative effects that I have noticed and I've done a fair few kms since changing the fork position.

    If you need any detailed help to try this mod on your bike, pm me OK.

    Cheers
    Dave
