Hi,

Is there anyone that have the height of 150cm to 155cm bought R15 V3 and do modification to adjust the height to lowest?

Does it affect the bike performance in terms of safety etc?

Any advice?

My advice is do not buy bike with fairing. when come to maintenance it's a hassle. the mechanic may charge u extra just becos more work for them. buy bike which spare is easy to find. If u want to mod, find out what mod is approved by LTA. some officers may not pass u when u go for inspection.

@XHippo how much do you need to lower it by? if not by too much.. i recommend u to go to a saddle shop like Eugene Saddlery or 219 or auntie to shave the seat..... u can lower via suspension or mods but it will shorten the lifespan of the suspension
