Lowering the bike

[cal66]

Hi everyone, I've got a lowering kit to have it lowered by 50mm has anyone done this and how does it handle

I have lowered other another bike (TDM) but did the front too. I could not detect any handling difference.

Thank you ��

Lowering it by that much will probably need a shorter, or modified, sidestand too. Is that part of the kit?

Make sure you tell your insurer, too.

There is another thread by Michelle333 about this.

What system do you have on?

Hi
I lowered mine 2", 50mm. Dropped the forks by 37mm. Took about 10mm off the side stand. It's perfect. My very experienced hubby rode it before and after and there is no difference to handling. I love it, it feels as low as my 250 did.
