I designed that DSM logo.
You must never remove it. It is a design of beauty and function. Oh- I'm sure you'll find the suspension too tall for you, and you'll want to find a low-mileage standard bike with which to swap components. One in Southern California. |

No, we hope your legs are short, and desperately need to lower the entire contraption.
I may know someone who'll be happy to facilitate

Oh, I'm sure you'll feel so much more comfortable with it just a bit lower. And think of the money you'll save by avoiding those pesky tip-overs...
Remember, I'm here for you.... |

Already had my first tip over so there
a nice gentleman on a multistrada helped pick it up too..With that said is it normal for the bars to moved back and forth (front and back) a little bit with bar risers?
