Lower back end - '85 Venture

[Calvinski]

Hey Everyone ...

 

I am not sure if there is a viable solution here, but I thought I would ask ...

 

I have an '85 Venture (not the Royale version) and a 27.5" inseam ... thus short legs ...

 

Is there a way to lower the back end and still enjoy the bike? I have read some kits for the back and different seats ... however there is no common solution it seems ...

 

If anyone has any advice, that would be great ... I just switched from a Honda Magna to the Venture and it is like night and day ... would love to make the Venture the bike I am looking for ... thanks in advance!!

How much air are you running in the shocks?

Wear 'lift' boots. That'll make you taller, and you'll have new boots.

Unfortunately the Venture is just plain a tall bike. Try the suggestions above. You could try a slightly smaller rear tire but I doubt you would gain more than 1/4 inch there. You can try removing some of the padding from the seat, lower air pressure in front as well as the rear...
