So it is flawed and for somebody a lot heavier than you would be a real problem.In my 2019 CB650R, I installed one of this lower shock mount (from T-Rex Racing), effectively lower the back +1 inch. This, combined with a lower seat (I trimed the foam about 1 inch), lowered front suspension, and my tall Daytona boots, allow me to reach one foot to the ground (no flat footed indeed). All of this, because I'm 5'1", with a 26" inseem. But a word of caution with this shock mount: because it raises the shock from the swing arm, the shock spring is now less than 1/2" apart from a lower transversal reinforcement of the rear chassis (the tubular structure holding the seat, battery and everything under the seat). Too much weigth, or hit a bump going too quickly, and the spring hit the reinforcement, causing a temporary "lockout" of the rear suspension, giving the same sensation of a very stiff shock (besides it's adjustment). Caught off guard, you can be thrown out of the seat. This lower reinforcement can't be cut, because it holds the rear plastic cage with the battery, electronics, etc. I'm conscious of this, and only speed the bike in very know roads....but in new ones for me, I'm very careful. Take in to account my weight is 59 kg (130 lb), and adapted my riding style for this situation...but at the first opportunity, I'll change this lower shock mount for a Lust Racing lowering kit.
