Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech Lowering just the front end......?

My "new" 07 TBA was lowered when I got her delivered from the East Coast. They said she was stock, wrong!!!
I'm guessing 2 inches, given the feedback I got when I posted some pics of her here.

The kickstand was cut and re-welded for the lowered set-up. I don't remember scraping too much, but I'm not that aggressive. What I hated about it was the lack of shock dampening. The first time I went over some RR tracks, I though I was going to get thrown off the bike. I thought, initially, it was due to my not riding for 18+ months. Any bumps in the road were unpleasant. Even the dealer warned me about riding the bike as it was. I even had to sign something about it on a work order they did for me.

Lifting the bike was a PITA. I had to straddle her upright and then work the Harbor Freight bike lift underneath her and reverse when removing the lift.

Putting her back to stock height, with Hagon Nitros in the rear and the Ricor Intiminators up front have made a world of difference in riding comfort. I also had to get a new stock kickstand.
