treebandido is on a distinguished road
short arse newbe in need of advice.

Hi all, i'm newb to adventure bikes coming from fast Vtwins. having done the rounds my choices are either a dakar/sertao. or more preferably a 660 tenere. The catch, i'm a 5ft9 short arse and could barely stand the thing up in the show room let alone on some sloppy hillside. So my question is will a lowering kit make enough difference and will it screw up the geometry and so handling. i know the front will need dropping to match. But will lowering it by an inch change the bike in any other way. I dont want to spend 400� on a new seat either. the sertao fits but i really do like the tenere.
thanks for your help.
Regards dave
