If you lower the back you will have to slip the forks slightly up the triples to compensate...not worth it... changes the whole ride ...I'm 5' 3" and ridin 1K's Only thing I really have a problem with is burnouts...

Sweet, a lowered stuntbike. This could be the start of a whole new thing. It's gonna be awesome trying to ride wheelies on a razor thin BP. but **** he will 'look' like the coolest kid at the lot.

Re: lowering links can you still stunt???
Im guessing that the cage bottoms out when you she comes down hard. My bike was lowered when I got it, and I hated the way it handled

yeah...on even curbs and it scapes on turns. I adjusted it to the highest setting possible, but that's still a inch and a half lower than stock. I gotta buy the stock one on ebay.

Thanks for the help.

Re: lowering links can you still stunt???
The ones i took off mine only had 2 holes, but thats because the guy cut the bottom hole off. I think it must have been rubbing the inside of the fairing.
