Closer to making the Hyper mine

Honestly, you might be happier with a Monster, which is mechanically almost the same bike, but just not so tall.

OTOH, you could get *really tall boots*. ;D

I've ridden several versions of the HM, in both engine sizes, and they are just a blast. I have no idea why this is, but they do not feel too tall for me, even though I'm 5'6" with a 28" pants inseam. I expected them to be too tall; on paper they are; but on the bikes it feels just right.

Well the hyper is already in the house and jay has his mind made up to get the bigger one now. I would have to mod the monster too anyway.

I do ride in high boots!

I rode it finally, FUN. Just around the block, (I put the seat on it without cushion just so I could check the fit.)
Its like riding my dirtbike, I'll have to get used to it, but I can see it being a blast!

We adjusted the spring in the back, but the front needs to be lowered, that can only be done internally, so well have to cut them. Not crazy about that, but right now It feels funky, with the front higher.

I cut my self shaving the seat lol, it was bound to happen!

So I got it pretty low , I ordered a gel pad because I took out so much foam, I'll put that under the foam, recover and see where I'm at.

Seat is done, looks and feels great, but its not enough Giving in and taking it to the pros. Hopefully it won't take too long. I'm bummed.
