    These might be an idea:

    http://www.fc-moto.de/Daytona-Lady-Star-GORE-TEX/en

    They give you 2.5 cm more in the heal and 0.8 cm at the front. There are other similar boots from Daytona, too. Haven't so far seen other boots that are made with thicker soles.

    I've had a quick search over NZ pages and here they cost about twice as much...

    Has anyone tried just putting a thicker sole on their usual boots? How did that work out?

    It's a HEEL.

    You can get them lowered. My partner had one done for her.

    We got it done through MR Motorcycles in Pukekohe. Also dropped the front end through the triple trees up to the handle bars. This made the bike lower.

    But after a couple of years she hated the way it handled so we sold it and bought a Ducati Monster 696 that fits better and you do not have to lower.

    have someone look at setting the surspension... if you are as small as yer say you are prob
    quite light aswell.. so the bike might be sitting higher than it should with you seated...
    Have the "sags" set you could well lose 25mm or so when seated...

    Gemmels in Symonds Street put inserts and new soles on my boots. Best thing I did as it was much easier than farting around changing everything on my bike. Having said that, I got the seat done only a few weeks after buying it (7 years ago). I'm 5'1
