sorry i should have clarified what i meant by the track i meant--- i meant the strip as in dragstrip..sorry

but i totally agree that 3" strictly for on the street would be insane...you wouldnt even be able to drive over a speedbump.

BINDEL...DO NOT...I REPEAT...DO NOT LOWER YOUR BIKE 3 " FOR THE TRACK!!! Read the many replies about lowering your bike...read about the girl who scraped her belly pan on a large bump, cracking her engine casing open, spilling oil on her rear tire and made her go down hard (which in fact, hunk's expert wrote probably wouldn't happen).
a motorcycle...then move on to more advanced areas...

Fret, don't get your panties in a bunch. Bindell just explained that its strictly for the drag strip. Relax buddy, relax...

man, fretless, stop listening to this guy. It's pretty obvious he's just a troll, he goes and digs up many months old posts just to stir up contriversy. If we all stop feeding him with posts, maybe he'll run away and stop bugging this site?

I will add one more thing. Another method I use to lower seat height is that I take the seat remove the factory cushion and replace it with a thinner material. It is half the size almost, but feels even better then the stock cushion. It is not cheap but it is under 250.00 to do.

Does anyone have any information on this, like what kind of material, etc. A writeup if anyone knows of one would be awesome! I know of shaving the seat to take off a few inches, but I've never heard of anyone replacing all the material, but I'm definately very interested.

Thanks

Anyone??? Any information would be great

I haven't heard of any thinner pads for the RR, I've only seen people shaving the seat down, you could probably get something custom though...

It is so hilarious to see this kind of ignorant talk about making their bikes better by lowering them from folks who don't really know ANYTHING about engineering suspensions. I run across the same BS in my Corvette racing world. Gotta throw a jillion dollars worth of after market parts at something that GM or HONDA spent BIG BUCKS perfecting. Go figure!!???

What I do is just outperform them on the track. Kinda shuts up their ignorant mouths for awhile at least.

If I've heard it once, I've heard it a dozen times from some of the top tuners that an uninformed owner can screw up the handling & suspension dynamics engineered by HONDA / GM at a huge cost in a heartbeat.

My bottom line? If a short dude cannot safely handle an RR from his tip toes, then he shouldn't be riding an RR. I've never met a truly good rider who needed to lower it just to handle the stopped moments safely. I.E. If you're not good enough to safely handle a stopped RR from your tip toes cause yo mama made you short...then you're definitely not qualified as good enough to give any advice on how well a lowered bike performs or doesn't.

Your an ignorant basturd. I had a guy like you in a z06 that wanted to race my 2004 mustang Cobra,(almost stock

) and I beat his ass up. That shut him up, especially when there were 4 hot drunk ladies watching us race. Hey it was a Friday night. Your all talk and no go. So your saying because I'm short and can't handle a bike on my tippie toes, I'm not good enough to give advice about how well a bike performs when lowered? You don't possess any logic now do you? Yup you are a cocky corvette owner. The mouth runs faster than your car at times. I hate stupid people you know. Anyways I hate to say it, but Fret gave better responses than you. One is dumb, but your definitely dumber. Congrats.

i still don't understand you cbr600rrhunk, i mean, you only dig up threads that have to do with lowering then stir up the biggest conterversy you can. I mean holy shit, if i met you in real life i'd have a word to speak with you and how you choose to communicate with the outside world (i.e. in a bad way), jus drop the argument, put your dicks back in your pants and put the ruler back in the drawer. Lowering a bike DEFINATELY had drawbacks, sometimes the owner has to weigh those with the outcomes and see what comes out first, but you know what, stop running around here naming names becuase they choose to have a different opinion with you. Take the higher road at least once in your life kk?

Replys like this are pretty "ignorant" man. He was talking about suspension, then you pull out the classic "ricer" move by saying "yeah, well my vehicle is faster than yours.....which makes me better". I don't know why you joined this forum man, I really don't. All you have been doing since you joined this forum is argue with people, and calling them out when they don't agree with your point of view.....that's ignorant.

I would watch yourself before an administrator or moderator kicks you off this site.

Aha!!!! Just like a rat, you took the bait set by my 1 and only post to you. "hunk" goes "KERCHUNK"!!!

You just proved to me & the world beyond a doubt the socially retarded person that we have all guessed you are based on your prior posts. Name calling? Cursing? Rolling out the rice talk about your car faster than mine? All in one short post?

This is an official call for the Moderators to ban this individual from this forum permanently. This forum is a special place for us to dialogue civily & to help each other out as fellow riders & Honda owners. This person is diluting the value of this forum very quickly. Like a bully on a school play ground he needs to be put in his place.

BAN HIM!!!!

All in favor say "YES" with a response either directly to the moderators or via a response to this post.

Carry on!
High Flight

Moderators! These are YOUR rules:

CBR Forum - Rules Logged in as: Jet Jockey Z06 Vette

CBR Forum membership is diverse, covering people from various countries, backgrounds, ages and experiences. Considering this diversity and to make CBR Forum enjoyable for the majority of our membership, we have adopted the following simple posting guidelines.

1. Vulgar language, images and other offensive material including, but not limited to, race, nudity or pornography is not tolerated here. The CBR Forum staff shall be the sole judges of what does and what does not violate the boards standards.

2. While debating and discussion is fine, respect your fellow enthusiasts.

Ok... I usually stay out of the "can I lower my bike threads" because this usually happens.

Banning members is something we do after all else fails.

HondaCBR600RRhunk, you are stepping over a line. Discuss you point without resorting to childish behavior.

Frett... you're a very respected member and your opinion and experience are more than valid and valuable. But don't feed the fight with post like this.

To be honest, Frett and HondaCBR600RRhunk were not the only two arguing, but they seem the be the leading two. I'm not wasting any time reading everything in this post. The bottom line is we have different experiences and can all regurgitate quotes for other sites and writers. In the few minutes I read over some of the replies here, I could takes things to new level of "piss everyone off". What would that get us?

Stop. First and last warning. We/I value every member and like that we have different sides to questions and answers. But leave it up to the questioner to reply back to the answer he/she liked best for follow up. Or if you don't like the answer, tastefully give respect to the answer and tastefully give your answer. As long as it's not a safety issue, different answer are fine and can stay up.

IF anyone points out a reply that is obviously dangerous, we will delete it. For now, enough has been said here.

If you have any question, PM me, chainstretcher or Patrick.
