Breva 750 Mods...Bike must now be SOLD!

A friend of mine just bought a Breva 750 and then lowered it by getting shortened Hagon shocks (
www.davequinnmotorcycles.com
)and having the seat reworked and lowered by Spencer Seats...(
www.greatdaytoride.com
).
Both good pieces of kit.
I'll try to post pics if I can figure out how to do it.
Neat little bike to say the least.

Lowering a Breva?
Is your friend a midget or something?

The Breva 750 seat height is in the 30"-31" range stock, so lowering it is not at all unusual for lots of folks.
Another mod your friend might consider is a sump spacer to increase the oil capacity on the bike...

My 5'4" wife put the low seat (29") on hers and has been happy with it. With its light weight and pretty narrow seat/frame I can't imagine why someone would
need
to do both the lowered seat AND drop the suspension unless they were used to "drag your ass on the ground" cruizers, or extremely short of inseam...

God forbid that someone would modify a motorcycle to meet THEIR needs. What a dick.

I was asking WHY someone would do such a thing. Not somehow insisting or giving my disapproval to what he did.
Dont be a spaz.

Due to unforeseen circumstances my friends Breva 750 must be SOLD...It has the Moto Guzzi touring windscreen (larger one), Hagon Lowering shocks (Stock shocks will also be included) and the modded seat (Spencer's) which looks 100% stock. Other than that it's all original and is immaculate...it only has 333 miles on it.
I'd post pics but I can't get them to work....so email me and I'll send you some if interested.
lowside343964@aol.com
$8,000.00
BTW: She needed the seat and the shocks because she only has an inseam of 28"...quite short.

Well Guys and Gals...My friend has decided to keep her Breva...for now anyway. I really wish that she would make up her mind.
