Lowering just the rear, (durablue rear lowering kit)?????

jerstilly · 03-20-2003, 01:06 PM

I was considering lowering just the rear on my 2002, was just curious if anyone has done this and how do you like it. How does it look with just the back lowered, are there any draw backs of doing this and how much does it actually lower the rear. Do you loose any ground clearance? Any othe info. on this topic will be greatly appreciated...Any Pics would be great too

the lowering strut for the back hangs down a little further than the regular strut.you loose maybe an inch of ground clearance if that much.
i use it fir flattrack racing and it works great.i would not recommend it for extremely high jumps or anything like that.

heres a pic of one lowered all the way.

tippy

you can hit a 90 degree turn at 70mph on dirt and it doesn't lift a tire!!!

If you just want the rear lowered, flip the stock linkage. It will drop it a couple of inches.

I lowered mine and I love it. I ride tight woods and it is the best $65.00 that I have spent. I makes me feel like I'm sitting in the bike instead of on top of it. I would recommend
