250 probably feels like a bicycle after that lol

you could put a trackskin tail on it-gets rid of the seat and the extra 2-3 inches it takes up altogether. should be tolerable for multiple 15-20min trips til shes comfy with the bike, never have to touch the susp.

if u decide to lower it, make sure u lower the front and back, and then adjust the susp (if u can) accordingly. dont just lower the back and call it a day.


another thought-would a twin or triple help? they arent as wide, mite let her use what little length in the legs she has to their full potential.
