Lowering fzr 600

Post by tclayton9 »

Where can I find longer dog bones to lower my bike. A friend of mine has a 94 fzr that is lowered to that ground and has a 10inch swingarm. Mine on the other hand was purchased extended but i dont know how many inches or how to determine how many inches. I was trying to see what you guys think and see could you all give me some information but for the life of me, i dont know how to post pictures on here.

Why do people ruin the handling of their Bikes by purchasing an extended swingarm & lowering it? screwy :duh:

I can understand the practice for a straight line drag racing bike, but usually those are specialized Bikes with more than 1000cc & N2O, etc.

^^ Yup, agreed. Agreed

Install a stock swing arm, set the suspension to stock height, and destroy your buddy in every aspect of riding.
The ride circles around him laughing! :rofl:

(The whole reason to extend the swing arm is to stop a high powered bike from doing a wheelie all the time; the FZR is hardly high powered and is fairly hard to wheelie in the first place)

:yutugh2: <-- Besides look at this guy, he is having fun!
