A friend of mine is looking at a sv650. She needs it lowered and asked if I knew what it took. I am ignorant in this department so I desided to see if the mass of knowlage that is the Hayabusa.org could help her out.
I know a lot of you have significant others that have lowered the SV650. She went to the local dealership (Beaudry's) and the tuner there was not much help. He just wanted to sell her a bike that was twice the price. He even tryed to put a nail in the coffin by saying you had to chop the front forks to lower the bike. Is this right?
Also the ambigus "They" said it would have a negitive effect on the way the bike preformed. Those of you with the lowered SV650, it would be nice to have some real world advice.
One last thing. She has years of experince on a Ninja 250 but would like something bigger.
She is about 5'4" and maybe 130 lbs.
Thanks in advance.
Dustin.
