See what I mean.
If anyone is offended I apoligize. I was a little slaphappy last night and couldnt resist.
Seriously though shaving the motorcycles seat down can get the bike much lower. You can see before and after if you click on the blue bikes picture in my signature line.

The Spectre I had, had the seat shaved down and gave a ride height of about 28 inches. Quite a dramatic difference from stock. A shaved seat would be my first try and then shorter shocks if you need more drop.

Thanks everyone for all your help.
I think I'll try the seat trick. I CAN reach the ground with my toes but I'd like to be able to put both feet flat on the ground at the same time. You know, when I'm backing up (just until I find the Reverse gear).
The pictures were great! I'm not posting any picture of the crack of Dawn. hahaha
Agawam - I'm in Pembroke MA, near Marshfield, Duxbury - just about between Boston and the Cape. - little closer to the cape. Thanks for the offer but like I said, I'll try the foam trick.
Thanks again all.

Hey Dawn,
Glad to hear back from you! I thought for a while that we had scared you off, but I see you have a healthy sense of humor and can take our sophomoric joking.
Good luck finding that elusive Reverse gear!!

Hey Dawn. Here is a pic of my ride with about 2.5-3 inches trimmed off the seat foam. The added bonus to having your feet be able to comfortably touch the ground it also prevents the sliding backward when you snap the throttle open.

1977 Kz 650 Custom
1974 Ks 125 Enduro (restored)
Previously owned- Honda CBX, Honda 550 Super Sport, A dozen Kawasaki, Yamaha and Honda MX'ers and Enduros.
Current Ride - '77 Kz 650 Custom - (Miss July on 2006 Kzrider Calendar-shown with last year’s restoration and engine project, a Wiseco 700) Newest rebuild includes Wiseco 810 kit, Kz750 cams, Kz750 intake valves, 750 GPz springs, Ported head, WG Mikuni 28's, Velocity Stacks, Dyna Ignition and coils, MAC pipe, 14 tooth front sprocket. Returning to original '77 Moon Dust Silver. Goal is to have a stock-looking, ultra-sleeper bike that will tighten up any loose dental fillings off the light and surprise other, bigger bikes.
