I am only 5'6" myself with a cowl, but mine is a pre-98 and I think the cowls are lower. I lowered my bike front and rear, plus run a 60 or 50 series tire in the back and now I can flat foot on both feet.

Re: too short!

Now that I put the Cawl on the Kat (whick looks killer)I am having a very hard time trying to swing my leg over the bike. Being only 5 6' it looks like I am doing this karatie kid kick just to get on the bike. I might even pull my groin if I am not careful.

Same issue here with mine, 5'7" i have scuffed mine twice swing the old leg over, not sure how long I will be able to do this before I take the cowl out, but it looks great.

5' 6"!!!!!!!!







5' 7"!!!!!!!

I had this problem when I installed my cowl.
What I do is stand on the left peg with my left foot and then swing my right leg over.

carry a little step ladder. Could lower your bike help maybe dog bones?

theres no problems being short, sometimes they just stack shit too high.

How come I can do it easely ???? I am only 5'6" ... I am a girl .... no platform .... and bike is not lowered ....


think about it ... Is it because I am a woman ???

No way , dude ! They make everything for SHORT people now . Doorknobs , steps , water fountains , sinks in public restrooms , forklifts .... I feel like a GIANT sometimes , and I'm just BARELY under 6' .

I'm a woman who's 5'3 and want to add a cowl to my bike so, I've thought about lowering the Kat BUT, I'm very concerned about reducing ground clearance - all the parking lots in my town have absurdly high speed bumps.
