fluffy · 07-06-2008, 04:56 PM

Hi fluffy here, just thought I would ask if anyone knows a way to lower a 96 GSXR 1100 WP. I;ve had it bout 18 mths now and love it, the problem being i have ducks disease and struggle abit when it comes to parking. Any suggestions?

you can buy lowering kits for bikes, but not sure how many models they cover

Cheers Indie, I will look into that. It has been suggested that i could lower the shocks but i just got it set nice, handles well.

Hello Fluffy,
There are all sorts of things you can do, backing off the preload, raising the forks etc (best to see a mechanic who is familiar with you're model for these) or getting the seat altered.
