Congrats on the new ride Très plus nice bike!! How much did you drop it, and how did you lower the rear of the bike?

Ride safe!

Re: My 600RR WOW
It's a 1" drop, but it ended up lowering the seat about 2" we think. Should be a little more once we raise the forks to even it out.

Yeah Fire929, that is just friggin' hilarious! J/K.

Was just curious as to what products are out there to accomplish this task. Me, I'm on the balls of my feet on my 954. Actually I should say was on the balls of my feet at a stop. Now I'm basically on my toes while wearing my new Christmas prezzie Sidi Vertebra II's. Maybe it's just because they are new and stiff? Maybe it is because I am a midget...

Anyway, Conq, thanks for the explanatory link. Fire929blade, hope you realize I'm kidding here.

Conq, that link doesn't work for me.
And speaking of dogbones, where do I get one to raise my rear?

That's what I say. I can't believe Conq doesn't like it. I guess some people just get soft in their old age

Special thanks to CBRbob for info/pointers on the install. It didn't go as smooth as his install (at about 1/2 hour), but everything went fine. Now all I need to do is chop down the kickstand.

She's coming from a carb'd Ninja 250. Of COURSE she would love Honda refinement with crisp FI.

Mine do (have on all my street bikes). Hers don't, even with the lowering. But she has more of her foot on the ground with it now than she had on the Ninja.

I take it she didn't test ride a VFR.....she would have headed cross country at a steady 7,000 rpm never to be heard from again....

From me when I sell the 929---as far as i know--I am the ONLY one with the proper Dan Kyle 929 version---you have to lighten the spring considerably----although lowering/rasing bikes is fun and all there are some serious issues that need to be addressed when changing ratios--BTW-RC--I am NOT sure why you want to raise your rear-----do you have an adj Ohlins/Penske???? That would provide probably all the adjustment you want/need for the riding you do
