2Wheeler Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 I lowered my Cbr for one day so my wife could ride it. The bolts were very tight but the job only took 20 min.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshfz.2008 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 They aren't too bad to put on lowering links, just have to remember it will effect your handling. You have to lower the front through the triple trees to compensate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 The best but pricey way is to do it with the rear shock with shortening and such. Most just do it with lowering links.Here's a good read: Lowering Your Bike Safely - Sport Rider magazineand a link with hardware.Yamaha Suspension :: Motorcycle Steering :: Progressive Suspension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'sMyRR Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 May need a shorter kickstand as well.I have a friend that said he would re fabricate the stand since I can't find a shorty aftermarket one. I just wasn't sure if I wanted to try to get into myself or just take it to a shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'sMyRR Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 An adjustable kickstand would be nice so I could just swap them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
