Tourer sits too high for my short legs.

[rod]

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.

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

Or... try new footwear, it may be easier than changing shocks and geometry...

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

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.

The people that ride these (at the lat RAA), are from 5'7" to 7' feet tall. You will find something. The Scot in Exile is trying to buy your bike. Don't give in. Sell it to me!!
