lowering

[stevenance]

does any one know how to lower the front of a buse without changeing my top cover and lowering my forks?

 

[stevenance]

sorry for the spelling.
its been a long day and now i need to work on bike.

 

[Commuta_Busa]

have your forks shortened

 

[stevenance]

i cant find anyone who could do that

You could put some really heavy weights on the handlebars, that should lower it. Its even adjustable more weight, less weight.

a shop here in clw, fl said something about a spring?

 

[omslaw]

You could strap it, but I don't recommend riding with it like that. If you're looking to lower, I would get some risers ($25). This will raise your top clamp and allow you to raise the forks.

A spring for your front? Overall maybe, but springs arent gonna lower just the front.

Keep the top cover.
Add a spacer.
And let the forks come up through the spacer to the standard position on the top cover.

This is mine with a Genmar 1 1/4" riser.

Please excuse the snow.

easy take the air out the front tire...lol

that is the cheapest way but might compromise handling

sorry couldn't resistso i will

I used oversized bollts and washers to raise my triple plate. To lower the front all you have to do than is loosen the fork clamps and let them slide up.

Not to be rude but that doesn't look so hot? Sorry.

This is what I will be ordering from Schnitz Racing when I have the shop rebuild my forks with heavier springs to compensate for my weight and drop. Be doing the 1 1/4" spacers, actually shifts the springs higher in the fork tubes so lowers your bike but does not reduce the effective travel of the forks.

If interested I have a 1 1/4" Genmar riser I am not using and would sell. Send me a PM if interested.

risers installed

 

[mymaster]

forks up, front end down

 

[kennym4]

YES, I'm slow !! I don't understand how puting on risers will lower the bike ? Is it because the forks have to come up higher through the tripple trees, which allows for the body to drop down lower ??
