KLR 650 lowered seat
Hi,
Early last year I rode KLR 650 model 2009 from Colombia to Ushuaia, ARG and return to Colombia. I am small size and shape (5ft 4 inch). I lowered the front fork by about 1" and cut the seat about 2 " by local a Colombian motorcycle shop in Cali. With normal riding boot, side panniers and top bag loaded, I can flat foot. The bike served me well and suffer no altitude problem when I rode into Bolivia ( La Paz).
I am planning to ride my KLR from Germany across Russia in 2015.
