Need some help

Hey guys, so I need some help finding an enduro for my wife. She really wants to ride with me and I considered getting her a Hawk. However she is only 5'2 and the Hawk is a litte bit(a little more than a little. LOL) to short. Anyone have any recommendations for a bike for her? Could I get a hawk and put smaller tires on it?

There is a tool to adjust the rear shock but I am not sure you could adjust down that far. I am 5'9 and I tippy toe.

Yeah I know. I'm 6'0 250lbs and it fits me perfectly. It's way too tall for her.

Thanks man. I live in the boot heel about 2 and 1/2 hours south of St. Louis and Kansas city is a long way away. LOL I would really like to get her a hawk as that is what I have and I really like mine. I may just get her one and see if I can mod it to make it shorter for her. It may be a lot of work and a real head scratcher but I may have to try it here in a couple months.

I was told (by others who own it) the "WILL 200" has a seat height around 29 to 30 inches. I should be getting the bike delivered in a few days and I'm going to assemble it the same day... I will be back in a few days and let you know the seat height of it after I assemble it

I took off the seat cover and carved down the seat foam on my X-Moto with an electric turkey knife for Mrs 2LZ. Problem is now anyone else who rides it is sitting in a bucket squished up close to the tank. It's a "one way" mod, for sure.

Suspension length mod idea

Would something like this be feaseable? Of course something would be needed to compensate for the front wheel height to balance it out.
