height adjustment ?

As i am not to tall the blade is right on the limit of my comfort zone with regard to puting down the old feet when stopped junctions etc
Is there any easy not to intrusive way of lowering the bike ,its a 2012 abs model
cheers

 

are these any use

Honda lowering kits | CBR 1000RR, CBR 954RR, CBR 929RR, CBR 900RR Fireblade lowering kits | Honda CBR600RR lowering kits, Honda CBR1100 Blackbird lowering kits |LustRacing.co.uk

 

These might be able to help your situation!

 

thanks mate have sent them a mail so lets see what they come up with

 

mmmm mr glitter used to make me polish his

 

Booking o8 blade in for MOT and Hypopro lowering spring have trailed through all the chaff and spoke to suspension people and this is the compromise to price and setup. hope to have it back in a week or so. Will keep you posted

 

i have seen a blade with this lowering mod .Just a note see if you can look at a bike with it done, as it really spoils the back end and looks pants!

 

How tall are you, Steve? I'm not exactly a Harlem Globetrotter myself and I never feel uncomfortable.

 

I dont believe is possible to lower a bike without compromising the handling, ground clearance and also the side stand wont work. Not a good plan...............wear high heels

 

I'm 5'3 and 70kg, adjusted the preload front and rear to get a around 38mm sag, this helped lower the blade from tippy toes to a more comfy balls of feet.

If you're pretty light you might want to try before altering geometries etc

 

Too late spring ordered going in Saturday. Will watch and see and try the differance if PANTS then its ( the spring ) will be going on ebay

 

all done yet and if so any thing to report??
