Default Track bike: new paint & decals

I low-sided at the track a month ago. I just finished repairing the fiberglass, repainting and adding decals. I bent my drag bars so stock bars are on until I swap out for lower bars.

After the crash:


New paint:



Track day Saturday, first time on a bike since my accident:

Wow, nice bikes everyone!

Here is an updated picture of mine. Sorry for the quality...I took it with my cell phone camera.

Note how lowthe bike sits lol. For all you short ladies, I am 5ft nothing. If I can reach the ground, most anyone can. It's lowered plus the seat was altered.

I'm only 5'4", my 250 wasn't lowered or anything, I'm surprised four inches makes that much of a difference. Probably feel much more comfortable getting both feet flat on the ground!

I am still not flat footed, but it's close enough. That's even with the motorcycle boots which add about an inch to my height lol. Were you flat footed on your 250?

Yep, even with just sneakers, I have no problem. The bike fits me perfect. I'm a little worried about that if I ever upgrade to something bigger, seat height might be a problem!

They have a new product out now for all of us short ladies that allows us to virtually fit on any bike that we want, I don't know the technical name for it (I'm better with cars) the swing arm maybe? Well anyway the bar going from the rear wheel. They make longer ones that shorten ride height without compromising any stability or comfort. They cost around 80 dollars. Not bad for a little choice freedom. Ask your dealer about lowering options and I'm sure that they can help you with it.
