HEY GUYS I NEED YOUR ALLS HELP. WELL IM GETTING READY TO LOWER MY BUSAS FRONT END SO THIS IS MY QUESTION. I WANT TO LOWER IT ONE INCH. I NOTICED THAT AT THE LOWER TREE ON THE FORKS ARE RIGHT AT 1/2 INCH ON THE SMOOTH SURFACE OF THE FORKS BEFOR I HIT THE GROOVES. SINCE I WANT TO LOWER IT ONE INCH, IS IT OK WHEN I MOUNT THE NEW TOP TRIPLE TREE FOR THE LOWER TREE TO BE RE-ATTACHED HALF ON THE GROOVES OF THE FORKS? HOPE THIS MAKES SINCE. BY THE WAY, BY LOWERING THE FRONT END ONE INCH DO I RUN THE RISK OF THE FRONT FENDER RUBBING ON THE FRONT FAIRING WHEN RIDING? THANKS

Wheelies........................
are you a breeder or bloodhound man ?
I lowered my front around 1.5 or so, and the only issue I have is coming down too quick from a wheelie. I've hit the fender to undernose pretty hard a few times, knocked out the pushpins etc. but if you dont panic out of wheelie you shouldn't have an issue. Might want to get heavier springs in the forks also, I swapped mine out from stock .85 to .95 Racetechs. Very nice mod to do.

ncdog--- my bike is lowered 3" all the way around, 2 1/2 in the pic, and you will be fine just by sliding everything down--or up however way you look at it
. but yeah, normal even hard braking i dont have a problem because i took out that piece of plastic under the headlight assembly, so the ONLY time i ever hit is coming down hard or a really big bump. so everything will be ok--and personally you should come down a little more than 1" lol

So you lowered the front of your bike 2 1/2 inches correct? Do you have a pic of the the top clamp from lets say the riding position ?(erinehart5001 @ Jan. 09 2007,21:46) ncdog--- my bike is lowered 3" all the way around, 2 1/2 in the pic, and you will be fine just by sliding everything down--or up however way you look at it. but yeah, normal even hard braking i dont have a problem because i took out that piece of plastic under the headlight assembly, so the ONLY time i ever hit is coming down hard or a really big bump. so everything will be ok--and personally you should come down a little more than 1" lol

ahhhh dang heavy, i turn my back for just a few min and you jump in ahhhh. lol just kiddin----no sorry for the old pics, the pics only show a 2 1/2 inch drop, its like three now---course i could be a little off on my measurments but its right around there-- its a little wobbbaallyy in high speed corners say around 85 but not too bad that you cant handle it. and on the other hand it makes it a bit more stable in high speed straights----hope this help
