Hi,
I recently bought an F800 GS Adventure, for use both on road during the week, and some light off roading at the weekend. However I'm finding it just a touch too tall, so on uneven ground I am not confident getting my feet down to hold it up if the bike starts to lean over at very slow speed/stopped.
Has anyone fitted the 35mm HyperPro lowering kit (here) themselves to an Adventure?
I've read the commonly quoted post by Dave Ett, who describes fitting one to a standard F800GS, so I was interested in there was any differences in fitting to an Adventure that it would be useful to know in advance.
Also I would be interested to hear of anyones real world experience of riding a lowered F800GS off road, and whether its abilities are compromised noticeably.
Note that I have tried the lowered seat, and its bloody uncomfy - like a rock, so I sent that back.
Thanks, Chris
