well as the bike comes back together i bought a lowering link for the bike. just wondering if i need to adjust the shocks front or rear i know i need to get a new kickstand or just chop some of it off and the chain is fine but im just worried about the shocks let me know if i have to adjust htem thanks

 

The kick stand will need to be shortend.

I hope you are 100% sure this is what you want to do,or first buy a back up kick stand.

You will have to cut the stand and weld the foot back on it.

You will have to lower the front some.

Then get the suspension tuned from there,but why lowering it?

 

i rode a lowered bike and liked how it sat and rode also i liked the lower look

 

But you know it takes away from the handleing some?
I like the look of some bikes lowered and have rode a few lowered bikes.But i dont like my foot dragging on turns and you cant take as low as a bike thats not lowered.

I thougth maybe you was lowering the bike cause you cant reach the ground or something.

 

i though he was wanting to drag race it or somethin'....lowering a 600cc superport is like putting 44 Monster Mudders on a F1 car...dont do it man...dont do it....

 

i have a 636 and lowered it, although turning is a big adjustment i like how the feel of the bike is and it does look good to...but i actually was gonna post a question asking about what i do and how to adjust my kickstand because i dont like how the beik sits upright a little more, any suggestions on how to do it? or do they sell shorter kickstands?

 

i have a 636 i lowered it because i was on my tip toes... once i lowered it i could reach the ground with my whole foot... didnt like it though i raised it up again. i personally wouldnt do it i didnt like how i couldnt lean as much or anything... to much trouble plus i didnt want to cut my kick stand... i didnt put the stock links on it i just raise it up 1 notch and thats where its at now... much better..

 

do it.. im lowered 3 in on my bike... yet again about 2% of street riders will drag knee... its your bike do as you like. altho i bouhgt i new kickstand for 1 doller with 99cent shipping.

 

doesnt have anything to do with knee draggin...hard parts drag faster and the suspension cannot travel properly causing numerous handling problems...

but like they say....do what ya want....

 

wow i see its a 50/50 crowd on lowering the bike well thank everyone for the imput if there is more go right head
