You gonna give her your two inches five times? :twisted:

Nothing much to say on the seat height. 29" isn't that short but you have a tall bike there and you need to be pretty handy to keep that upright at standstill with the missus perched on top.

He can't lower it much, mine grinds round any decent corner as it is, it's a bike for big blokes, you need to be very careful though, get somewhere uneven and there won't be any ground there when you go to put your feet down.

There are a million bikes about that would fit you like a glove, unlike for me who has squeezed on undersized bikes for the last 30 years.

No help I'm sure, but in the interests of safety you should probably change bike.

Or fit stabilisers :lol:

You should be able to lower it slightly by playing with the suspension settings but this will probably detrimentally affect the handling. Persevere with it and get a bit more practice in and your confidence back before taking a pillion again.
