Title: lowering the gs500
Post by: wizkid007 on April 26, 2006, 03:32:14 PM
Hey all

Has anyone ever try to lower their gs500?  I would like to lower my gs about 1 or 2 inches.  I know it will affect the ride.  I just want to know if there is a lowering kit or anyone have any ideas on how to lower the bike.  All comments appreciated.

Thanks

Letting the air out of the tires should do it. :)

if you are looking for 1 to 2 inches then just shave the seat.  That will get you there :cheers:

You can also raise your boots!

My Daytonas give me about an extra inch. I'm waiting for new soles to come in so the cobbler can add another inch or two to them!  :thumb:
