ESA

[Hexme]

Good Morning Folks,

Whilst waiting for my my low seat to arrive, was just wondering what settings using ESA will lower the bike the most if any?

Thanks

Tony

One Rider. Height is set by preload in old money. Damping setting won't change seat height.

The only way to lower the bike below One Hat setting is to fit shorter shocks.

Life can be harsh. But GS shocks fit and a pair of Wilbers will transform the bike.

Sadly a slammed GSA never looks right.

I'm a short arse with a low Sargent seat. Agree with bendy, lowered never looks right.
Learn to plan your stops. Look for cambers and anything that could cause a problem when stopping. Unless you work in a circus, you can usually get one foot down. It quickly becomes second nature.
Apologies if you do work in a circus, but you've probably bought the wrong bike.

I too am a short arse and I found it hard to reach the road and indeed I still do. However I use a low Sargent seat and have the ESA set to soft so that when you sit on the bike it drops a little and you have more control whilst stationary. I also had problems reaching the side stand to get it it up when moving off. I welded a nut onto it and screwed in a bolt encased in rubber so I could reach it with my toe. Makes life a lot easier.
