looks like a scratch on the case. Did she already drop it?

She christened it, very minor What's the point of having a bike with no scratches? LOL. Nothing high temperature paint won't fix.

I installed a lowering link and it required removing the muffler. Lowered rear 35mm and also lowered front, adjusted pre-load, etc... I took her out for a spin, all good

With Sherry being so tiny lowering it will gives her more confidence. We looked at a new seat, boots, but wasn't enough. Actually, still might have to shave the seat.

I better be getting treats for doing all this work

wwoooow....all i hear in both videos is crappy overloaded mikes...doesnt sound like a bike at all...

 

[DJM]

Lol. I remember that sound plainly when I was in Seoul, Korea a few years back. Seemed like every single-cylinder bike ran without a muffler. The sound would hammer you from all sides of the buildings.

 

[Orangepeel]

LoL, loved it! Looks like you've quite the few nice two wheel toys in your workshop :notworthy:!

Anyone else?

With the adjustments do you need to modify the side stand too?

I cut the kickstand by the same amount as I lowered the rear of bike (35mm). I don't have a welder (yet), so I'm getting a bud to weld the end-support on for me.

To give you a better idea, below is a pic of the stand cut without end-support.

Better get that welded ASAP... looks useless the way it is.

Yep, gave the kickstand to a bud last night so he can weld a piece on. I'll try and remember post another pic when it's welded and I have it painted.

So how much did the seat height change from stock?

 

[Jlin]

35mm (~1.5"), which was as much as I'd go in the back for clearance reasons. It took the bike from 78cm (31") down to 75.4cm (29") which is Sherry's inseam, so she's pretty much flat-footin now.
