cbr blackbird? that was funny, no its a ZX12 and it was a moster! the thing about big bikes is they only feel big to light weight riders. me at 270lbs anything less than 500lbs feels like a toy under me!
now I've owned
88 fz600
87 vfr700
91 fzr600
00 zx12
01 yzf600r
01 cbr929ER

Well this guy clearly hasn't been able to get the best handling out of his 929:
Nice strips eh?

I'm sure someone is real proud of that bike. But I'd spend like 3 days raising, shortening, then getting rid of those stripes the fun way lol

Sure it is... the parts I would strip off of it are more expensive than the ones I got.
Smartass. If I could buy that bike for $2300 I'd buy it up too. It would also be in my garage on stands getting stripped and pictures would be on here detailing my progress of ridding the bike of it's unfortunate cancer.
Alas, some fruit is probably looking to get $15K+ for that parts bike. AND THERE AREN"T EVEN ANY FRAME SLIDERS! Could you imagine? Like it or, it's a lot of work - and to knot even put frame sliders on it... tsk tsk.
That bike is also in better condition as it was obviously never ran hard... HAHAHA pwn't teh n00|3!
In anycase I'm not saying I wouldn't take it - I'd just strip the fvck outta that hunk and part dat bitch out.

CLEAN 929RR, 37 Original miles, never abused parts bike, must see! I don't even know if it runs, but make me an offer! For some reason that sidestand is welded into place but I'm sure we can cut that...

I want to lower my bike just a little bit, like maybe an inch max but i dont want to lose any handling. Any ideas? I was thinking of just adjusting the shock down some, but like i said i dont want to lose any handling.
you can lower the bike as much as 1.5 inches,i would not go but 1 inch at best,the trick is to adjust the rear
and modify the fork internals-
find a good suspension builder-have them reduce the dampening cartridge 1/2 inch(you the do the rest
by adjusting the forks within the triples)-then for the rear,use a link similar to this:
http://www.mpsracing.com/products/Spencer/Links.asp
you wont lose any handling,you will gain handling!!!do it right!!!!
also-if you are going to lower the bike,you might give some thoughts to using adjustable
rear sets
