Hey, some people do like dropped bikes, so I thought this might be helpful to THOSE people!

 

[jellyloco]

i can still state my opinion and people can agree or disagree with me that is whats great about forums so dont take it so personal

 

[joegixxer]

Its all good jelly. I actually don't really like dropped bikes either (unless like you said, you need to for some reason), but I just see a lot a guys with bikes lowered improperly, which is dangerous, so I thought I'd put this up for those people to see. But yea, I'm with you on this one!

i had a lowered bike a couple years ago...handled like a caddy with bad shocks...no good. Would not hold a line in the corner. I bought it that way when i was young and dumb and was taken back by the bling lol

lowered bikes are only good for drag racing

:smiliebiker: this was it.....i looped it in traffic at around 65mph...i rule ipe:

i bought it in 00 when chrome was still cool

lol...who can tell me what is wrong with this picture..it is a 98 gsxr 600

Yea, improperly lowering is a very bad idea. You can lower your bike a little bit without messing it up too bad, but I would really only recommend for a few reasons:
1) You are super short and can't find a bike small enough
2) You drag race
3) It's a show bike that you don't drive
Other than that, there is really no point.

there are 2 things

a) one disc has been removed? (what a dumb fucken idea)

b) not sure bout the states, but didn't the 98 SRAD come out with USD's?


edit: and it's probably just me, but it looks like the sidestand's bent?

nice..the first one was easy.. I was told it was for weight reduction..lol but it had an SS line and ebc hh's so it actually stopped fine...could even do stoppies

what are USD's?

the second thing was the 750 swingarm and rim(190 tire)...but not noticable unless you have another 600 right next to it
