Lowering fzr 600
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.
Re: Lowering fzr 600
Why do people ruin the handling of their Bikes by purchasing an extended swingarm & lowering it?
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.
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!
(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)
<-- Besides look at this guy, he is having fun!
