I'm on my toes while riding my cb1000r to reach the ground. Guess some way to make more contact with my feet?
Well,before you say,have tried but alas! cannot stretch more vertically.

Also suggest best can for my bike.Would it be better to decat or a slipon would do good?Do all after market performance cans require to remap stock settings?

Hey Captain Rohit, Welcome to Xbhp.

Did you try reducing the suspension's preload by a click or two? I'm not sure where I read about it but I'm sure it affects stationary ride height. But again, just remember your original settings before adjusting it.

Me also faced that problem when I rode a 600rr. Im 175cm with shorty legs. Though its not a problem on the open roads but its good to have both your legs down at crawl speeds,on inclines and while backing up. I guess we have to just live with it and know our limitations. Altering the suspension is not worth it, i mean the R&D spends so much effort in getting the suspension right on this beauties. May be boots with taller sole can help.

For bikes with thick seats we can cut it open and take some of the cushion out (I know this is not the best solution )

P.S: Please change the title of the thread from CB100R to CB1000R

Anything from lowering links to modified seats to spacers.. You could also get a lowering kit for both front and rear. Also internal front forks adjustment will do the trick.

What info i have collected so far,seems the lowering kit does affects the handling of the bike so for now i'm staying off it.
Can try to trim off the excess fat off the seats though!

Any advise on the zorst upgrade ??

lowering links or for that matter front and rear kits will not affect handling. i ve ridden extensively on lowered superbikes from the busa to the r6 and did not feel any drop in handling. you mite have to re work your lean angle for track days but for streets i seriously doubt you will see any handling issues.

u can open the seat & trim some of the foam off, u will sacrifice comfort but u will also gain better confidence by having more of your feet on the ground, just remove your seat & go to a car seat accessory shop & tell them to trim the foam, you should be able to trim at least 1/2 inch, will make a big diff. enjoy your ride & ride safe..
