also why would 2-3 inchs make a big difference? I mean, you say the geometric angle of the bike should be kept as close to stock as possible but , why? will it not ride/handle right? will I fall off as soon as I try to turn the corner? what's the worse that could happen? just curious cuz I jus don't know. honestly, I'm not all that comfortable with the way it handles now. I keep telling myself it'll get better. It's only been a year and a half since I I've had the bike and narrow the riding time waaaay down several months due to weather constraints. Sooo, still getting used to it and trying to fit into it comfortably.
