The best way is to remove the seat cover and cut down the foam, then reattach the vinyl. The other way would be to lower the forks in the triple tree and put shorter shocks on it. But you have to be careful to lower the front and rear the same amount or the bikes handling will be adversely affected. Either way you can't lower more than 1 inch that way.

I am 67 years old and want to get back into riding. I have not rode for about 30 years. I am five foot seven inches tall and have short legs. The seat on the Night Hawk is a little to high for my feet to touch flat footed. Is there a way to lower the seat? Even an inch or two would help a bunch. I read in a repair manual that the bike should be idling when I adjust the timing chain. Is that the proper way to do it.? thank you very much in advance.
