- How To Lower Choppers, Sportbikes And Trikes
For those bike enthusiasts who are wondering how to lower motorcycle the right way here is one suggestion of several. On many bikes you can lower the front end up to an inch by adjusting the preloaded spacers that keep the fork springs compressed. For the rear end you can use lowering blocks which are also spacers that allow you to reposition your rear shocks bottom mounting point further back, subsequently lowering the back of your bike.
Now if you plan to tackle this on your own than it would be wise to take your time and proceed slowly throughout every step because any adjusting to far could cause your bike to be damaged. We would suggest that you also visit one or two motorcycle forums and seek the input of other riders who have tackled this on their own. This should help you avoid any mistakes.
Some other options that you might want to look into are adjustable shocks to lower your motorcycles rear end, raising the fork tubes in the triple clamp, lowering link kits, progressive suspension and fork kits. One other thing to consider for all my racers and aggressive riders is that lowering your bike will also reduce the bikes cornering clearance so it would be wise to refamiliarize yourself with the new limitations of your bike, so you know just how far you can push and still be safe.
