Whats up guys. Im new to the forums and have a question. I bought my bike last spring lowerd an inch both front and back. I was just wondering if it was worth my time raising it to stock height and what all would be involved in doing so. The reason I would like it to be back to stock height is for wheelies and I am taller (6'2). Tank slappers are killing me and it tends to get squirly when I bring it down.

Thanks
Jerrod

for the rear, most lowering links and dogbones are ajustable, -2", -1", stock height. make sure you have something under the bike to keep it from falling down. I used a floor jack against the oil pan bolt.

to raise the front, just loosen the bolts on the upper and lower triple tree. i used rachet style tie downs hooked from my ceiling to the upper tripple tree.

good luck
