Word to the wise. Put your bike back to stock height. If you are having problems reaching the ground, shave the underside of the seat. Motorcycle engineers have the bike height set at a specific height for a reason. They are tested and proven to perform at a certain height. Lowering a motorcycle can cause all kinds of problems. It's not like a car, when you lower it you get better handeling. With motorcycles you get less clearance, less lean angel, and worse handeling. In fact most of the motogp and ama superbike riders you see racing have their bikes set up at factory height or alittle higher.
