I baught an "85" GS 550 "ES", for my wife. It was too tall for her, & with the monoshock design, I found no reasonable way to lower it. She now rides a Kaw 600 Eliminator, & it fits her perfectly, she loves it. Please forgive me, but when she's happy, I'm very happy.

Monoshock should be easy to lower by just changing those "bones" we call here in Finland. Well, nice to hear that your wife found bike she is comfortable with.Originally posted by rphillips View PostComment

How much lower do you need? The seat on the GS550ES is square and makes it a little hard to get legs down. If you trim the edges a bit I"ll bet she feels the seat is INCHES lower.
Otherwise, the dogbones thing is good.You'd have to be crazy to be sane in this world -Nero
If you love it, let it go. If it comes back....... You probably highsided.

I understood that he passed the GS this time..Originally posted by Nerobro View Post
What you said is true. For example modern Honda CB500 is equal seat height with Kaw Er-5, but seat is much wider and my wife couldn't even think about riding with Honda.Comment
