NO FEAR!!
Well I am the one who wrote the thread Have you ever feared your bike. Well, I got my lowering link and put it on last Tuesday and I couldn't even tell you how dramatically it changed the way I feel when I get on my bike. My feet are flat and I feel so comfortable riding my bike. Me and my parents met up with some of our friends and they asked me how I felt about my bike and if I had any regrets. I said nope I love my bike. I just wanted to tell you guys and gals thanks for all the encouragement and the ideas.

Re: NO FEAR!!
Thanks for the update. I'm glad the lowering is working out for you. As I think I mentioned before, a woman I know who is 4'11" lowered her R6 a lot, and it still handles well enough for her to rip it up on the track. Being comfortable with your bike will now allow you to relax and become a proficient rider!

Re: NO FEAR!!
You know a lot of people told me not to lower it, not talking about you guys! If I would have taken there advice then it would still be setting in my parents garage. I would be paying for the something I don't ride or get enjoyment out of. I am very happy with my choice now.

I'm sooo happy for you!! It only gets better from here!!

Yeah I heard the same BS from all the dealerships around here about lowering my bike. It started to sound like a cookie cutter answer they were all trained to say. F-em!

Re: NO FEAR!!
Better to lower it and be able to ride comfortably than not to lower and being to scared to touch it.
