Hi guys, I have a rocket111 tourer, which sits too tall for me! I have sat on a classic and a roadster and I’m flat footed, but on the tourer I’m on my toes. Can I use rear suspension from the other two bikes to lower height assuming they will fit hole mounting centres? Thanks in advance Rod.
 
Main height problem with the Rocket bikes is the stock seat it is so wide plus it sucks, go aftermarket or get someone to shave some off the sides as it is the width of the seat that spreads your legs wide
If after all that and it is still too high sell it and buy a bike that fits you

Yes you can swap for shorter shocks. it will change your clearance slightly + you may have to realign your headlight settings.

Hi jake, what type of shocks would I need and where would I get them cheers
 
Took the seat of completely and sat on frame still feels too high, but would rather keep the bike lol
 
Try Hagon Nitro shocks they can build to your specification incl height but as others say check clearances first and drop the front end by sliding the forks up through the yokes to keep the geometry.
