Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Get a custom seat, you can remove 3 or 4 inches with that alone.
Shorter rear shocks.
Lossen triple clamp pinch bolts and raise the forks up above the top of the triple clamp, equal amounts on both sides of course. This is not possible with all models, handlebars, instrument cluster may not allow for this. Also air forks with the connector pipe, can not be raised at all. This will cause the o-ring to go past the fork tube air entry hole, and all air will come out of the systm.
Hope this helps,

Here is one that is lowered not a shaftie but same principle. Shorter shocks. custom seat and i used a wheel off a 750 on the front. The wheel was necessary to clear the heder and that was what made me also go for shorter shocks. but it is lowered and i can flat foot in sneakers( im 5'3)BARELY)).Some folks rake the front end but it makes steering a bit wacky as i see it.bybowtie said:
