The lowering link lowers the bike by an inch, but as far as handling slight improvement

by lowering it will make it handle quite a bit worse (surely)?
how good is colour match of red mids,looks pretty good,did you rattle can them?

ahmedf · 12-26-2012, 06:02 PM

Welcome fellow Brit, looks good!

ash2020 · 12-26-2012, 06:08 PM

suffolk county sounds like its in the states

Raj24v · 12-26-2012, 06:16 PM

He did say Long Island though... Hmmm.

Nice bike though. Unless your 5'4" or under get it put back to standard ride height. It's not a car and doesn't improve by lowering.

ahmedf · 12-26-2012, 06:20 PM

hahaha my bad

just read suffolk county and assumed ipswich type area

in that case i take my greeting back from you

Joking, welcome nonetheless

Thanks bro , The bike is at my boy Tommys garage, he himself owns 3 Yamaha R1's. He is currently tearing up my bike up for the winter.

Now about the lowering my bike scenario I need all to clue me on this, although Im still new to this??

CBR Time · 12-26-2012, 06:52 PM

looking good, you mentioned first bike, MSF course?

ash2020 · 12-26-2012, 06:53 PM

it will not handle anywhere near as good if it is lowered

Its not going to really be a huge difference. Unless you plan on hitting twisties hard. It just makes the bike handle different then stock.

Have you even ridden it yet?

Ok that explains the mod frenzy then and how easy it's being handled Tommy sure knows his way around a bike

I learned real quick on a motorcycle as if it was natural, I owned a vespa as a kid, and been driving manual cars since I was 17....

Strongly encourage you to take it BEFORE riding, if you've had zero motorcycle experience you will run into trouble if you dont take it easy at first, also be sure to gear up, sorry just looking out for a fellow rider

and thanks for the comment, no worries to take some of my ideas, not like there secrets lol
