Dont laugh, but I had a new pair of alpine stars and had 10mm put on the sole and heel of each boot, only cost 10 quid. Then hired a staple gun and removed my seat cover and scooped it out from the underside myself, its easy once you've done it as many times as me! :lol: (5.2")
Dropped forks through the yolks a little and dropped preload one notch then took it to a chap who set up my suspension to suit changes, all in all never cost more than 50 quid :lol: , These seat mod people charge a great deal for so little really. Take ya time and you can do a job just as good matey! But if you do take the boot option mentioned, you need to adjust your brake and gear levers to suit the boots :lol:

Psssst.... It's not always the girlies who need these adjustments. Maybe Daz is a shorty & is just asking on behalf of his "girlfriend" so he doesn't get embarrassed... :wink:
