It's all my fault! Posted a thread recently thinking I was done with mods, NOT! My new C&C seat raised my position enough that I can no longer flat foot, I am a short ****. Have searched here and any where I can think. Was considering going to a 11" Progressive shock but their customer service said without lowering the front it will turn wider particularity at slow speeds and ride quite a bit stiffer. Not real interested in either. MOCO lowering shock will drop the seat height a whole 1/4", not enough.
Did I mention that like most folks $$ is tight. I need to drop 1" so I am thinking (that's where the problems usually begin) I need a 11 1/2" shock but cannot afford the Progressive's $450. Ther must be other good after market shocks but cannot seem to find them. Most everyone here seems to be using Progressives.
You guys always bail me out!
aha found the Prozac... think I take 2.

 

Why not send the seat back and let them shave it down a hair for your height? Gotta be cheaper than new shocks.

 

I bought new boots and am amazed how much more my knees are bent! they're just harley gortex boots ,plain on the outside ,they look like construction boots sans caps, but 1.25" heel. I didn't even realize when I bought them,just an idea for you. That and the shaveing should be enough .

 

Welcome to the club, I've been done modifying my bike several times already, then another idea comes into my head.

If your looking for a little lower and softer ride, you can go with the Harley Davidson Street Glide air shocks, also know as Low Profile shocks. They are 12" shocks like the original Low Rider shocks but sit a little lower with your weight on them. New take offs can be found on eBay fairly cheap, just make sure they are the 12" and not the 13". A Screamin Eagle 180 tire also will lower your seat height a bit, and a pair of boots might also help.

Why are you so concerned about being flat-footed? Might just need to get more comfortable taking off and coming to a stop.
In any event, you can release some preload in the shocks, and that'll let your body weight collapse 'em down more, lowering the seat height.

 

Prozac usually does not make people taller unless they tape them to the soles of their shoes. You may want to try another type of drug, something a little stronger methinks.
