Remove some seat foam?

Fit shorter shocks?

Fit smaller wheels?

Or a combination of all three?

Can you raise the fork tubes in the triple trees? (No idea of the setup of a Beezer's forks.) Did that on a Hinckley Triumph for my wife, dropped 1-1/4" in the front, 1" under shocks, she went from not being able to flat foot it to perfectly comfortable.

Click to expand...

No, as the fork tubes should be a taper-fit in the upper tree, the same as Norton or Triumph drum brake forks?

High heeled sandals. Great look for a girl anyway.
