Lowering my 14
I'm thinking about lowering my bike and I was wanting some input on this matter. For the back I was thinking adjustable lowering links(either brocks or soupys), but I was wanting some feed back on what everyone was doing for the front. I don't plan on drag racing, but maybe a little street racing so I don't think I really want to put or need to put a strap on the front but I could be wrong. What is everyone else doing? Thanks in advance for all your help!!!

Drop the front 3/4 of an inch in the trees .. When you want to race turn the upper center adjustors ( ones in the center, top of the fork tubes ) 5 clicks clockwise .. This well help with the wheelys ..

If you're lowering the bike for street racing you probably need to give some thought to the sump plug's proximity to the ground.
I lower front and rear for the track but leave the bike at standard height for the road.
