    If your serious about modding the current motor, you could always put a pod filter on the carb and do the exaust, this means re-jetting though, but the engine will feel smoother and slightly more powerful as it will be breathing easier.

    Really though, I would track down a GN400 motor and put that in, instant increase in power and torque and should go in relatively easy.
    "I came into this game for the action, the excitement... go anywhere, travel light,... get in, get out,... wherever there's trouble, a man alone... Now they got the whole country sectioned off; you can't make a move without a form."

    Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.

    I can vouch for that. I have a VT750 C2 (see profile pic). I'm a touch under 5'6" (on a good day) and it's the first road bike over 250cc that I've found I can sit on and get both feet flat on the ground. With a bend in my knees.

    The bike might not be what you're after, but it's proof that they are out there.
    Some of the Boulevards have a good seat height, too, and are nice bikes as well!

    Nice choice of bike there
    It is a source of constant amazement to me the number of riders that should be carrying a step ladder with them cos their bike is too tall.

    Sounds like me when I ride off-road.... on a XR200 or 250 ! - almost need to do a flying start/running jump ! All good once I'm on it and moving - grip the tank with the knees, slide the back wheel around a bit and hold on grimly !

    Sometimes it even looks like I know what I'm doing!

    i may just have to come have a look at your bike..... it looks good in the pic!
    im 5'2 on a good day and at my heaviest 55kg so as long as i can find a bike that i can touch the gound and hold up i will be very happy indeed!
    I've learnt to hide the pain inside, open the throttle and ride away.

    Perfect size for a beer holder! (how flat is your head?)

    Seriously though...touching the ground and holding it up is nice, but don't forget about being able to get the bastard up again should the unthinkable happen (just being realistic here).

    As Dan said, I would go and sit on a few bikes...also lay a few down (with someone around for assitance) and try to lift them back up. Living in denial has never helped anyone when all by yourself on a ride.

    Just my 0.00002c...

    One trick you can do to make a bike a bit more suitable for a shortie, is to replace the foam in the seat with a thinner lay of high density foam and get it recovered, that was done to my YZF when I bought it since the previous owner was a short dude.

    Pod filter mod, Hell yes.

    However it is a little bit tricky, try and find the pods that fit. I Have done this mod to my bike. I don't have the correct pods, the correct pods cost $123 each and I need 4 of them :S.

    Rejetting carbs is easy, but hard to get it right. If that makes sence.

    Smoother? very much doubt it, my bike is running alot rougher at low speeds (take off and roll on at >50km/hr).

    Faster? Hell yes.

    Sounds better? HEEEEEELLLLLLL YEAH!!

    One thing to do with the pod mod (and I havnt done this) is to get the valves adusted to be pretty tight in tolerance.
    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot
