OKC_Kent Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 Hi everyone, A girl who rides in our group picked up a '93 Seca and the seat is a bit tall for her. She has shaved off some of the seat to get lower, but it's not enough. Can she do anything to get it lower? I know on some newer bikes you can replace links in the rear suspension to get it lower, but I am not sure about this Seca? Any help is appreciated, thanks. Kent
atlantasmittie84 Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 I have a 94 Seca. Now I haven't tried it but I believe the rear shock is adjustable. Not sure how much it would lower it. Your main problem is giong to be yoru front shocks. Those are tall and if you drop the rear too much she's going to feel like she's popping a wheelie at a redlight. Best thing to do is call a local bikeshop and tell them the situation and they'll be able to tell you what to do.

In doing some searching I noted where someone mentioned a shock from a Buell Blast may fit, it's 1/2 shorter and would lower the seat about 1-1/2" ?? If that would work then I thought maybe we could raise the fork tubes in the triple tree an inch or so.
