I dropped my bike

[greyrocket]

looks bad ass but i have no problem with my feet flat on the ground me at 6'6"

Looks GOOD !!!!  How does it handle now ? Are you going to stretch it ?

Handles good after playing with the suspension settings, only went down 1 inch, had to get my feet more on the ground, I'm 5'8". No stretch.

What is that front lowering kit if you don't mind me asking?

Looks nice. How long did it take to do the front?

If you have the tools and you know what your doing, you can do the whole bike (front and rear) in 1-2 hrs. I end up taking my time when doing something of this nature.

Looks great!

[standiggity]

Very nice, clean install.. makes the stance much nicer.

[DocDrop]

Looking good, I always like a little drop on our bikes.

[standiggity]

Suspension Gods: Is this the recommended way if I just want to go 1 inch down in front? (Would like to keep the rear where it is)??

[standiggity]

Also, didn't see the kickstand in any of the pics, you stayed with the stocker?

I tried to see this nice lowered Busa that you all were talking about...but my eyes just couldn't stand the light from all the reflectors!!!

HAHA...Just kidding...Looks good bro...

WOW! I've been thinking about lowering mine but I've had a lowered bike before and it was really uncomfortable (1K GSXR) and Rocky and I were just talking about this yesterday how bad it would handle but after you put the handle bar risers on there it wouldn't be uncomfortable at all! I'm not worried about height at all even though I'm 5'6'' my feet fall flat on the ground (I have long legs) but it looks very clean.

What do you mean by "you tweaked the suspension?" What did you do to it?

[Tufbusa]

What did you do to keep the fender from whacking the nose cowling when you hit a bump?

I believe I said "tweaked the settings", small minute adjustments ya know?

Besides stiffening the suspension, no going off curbs, no wheelies and never hit a "bump" with such force to cause said action.

Maybe a little WD40 on the brake pads will keep the front from banging the cowling when you get on the brakes hard

Just teasing about the WD40 but I've seen a few fenders all beat up from banging the cowling.

It does create a cool look to lower the beast but if you are a high performance rider, you'll find it rides like Sh!t.

Not bashing your ride, it looks really cool but you didn't do yourself any favors once you throw a leg over the seat. Riding two up can be a real problem as well.

[delbert]

excuse my ignorance but what do you gain by lowering it, will it handle better or is it just for looks and touching the floor for rider' im 6.2" so dont have a problem ?
