If your bike has dogbone 2 hole links that say 7505 T6 Suzuki Katana on them. Yes.

First hole down is usually 2" second hole down is 4".

As for stock links. The distance from the inner part of each hole is 34cm.

gee thanks!!

Stock seat height is 31.5, if I remember correctly...so that might explain it, too.

You can also tell by the forks..
On a 750 the tubes are flush with the bars. If yours are sticking up the front is lowered too. It's always good to lower front and rear. (although lowering just the front is OK)
I think some (or all) 98+ 750s have ridges to prevent lowering the front. If you have only the rear lowered (a pic of the handle bar area will tell us) you should consider removing the ridge and lowering the front to match.. The handling will improve and even give you a little more drop.

Remember though, if you lower the front too, you will want to consider shortening your kickstand. Ask me how I know.

My bike stands almost upright as it is, I cannot park on the right side of the road most of the time... I bought a used stand off ebay Im going to have cut for this season. The front definitely isn't lowered. I will have to run out there tomorrow and do some measuring to figure this out. I was hoping to bring it down just a smidge more but if its already lowered 4" (from what I am thinking from the first reply) then I may have to buy a corbin seat or maybe have mine shaved to get that little bit more.

Could be raising links? I have a 32" inseam and I could flatfoot my bike at stock height. Now that it's lowered I almost have to bend my knees.

It looks exactly like this one except mine is on my bike I will definitely be making a run out to measure the link.

K It was hard to measure because I had a huge tape measure with magnets on the end lol but I read 20 cms from c to c. Any ideas?

I dont think I measured my inseam correctly lmao. I measured from the bottom of my shoe and I think you are supposed to measure from the bottom of your ankle

I bought some off ebay for my wife's bike and when I compared the stock ones with the new ones there was about a half a hole difference on the first hole but it dropped about an inch & half. Here they are compared: (black are new ones)



(notice the rear pegs in relation to the rear tire on all 3 pics)

STOCK LINKS, STOCK HEIGHT:


FIRST HOLE ON NEW LINKS:


SECOND HOLE ON NEW LINKS:



I roughly measured about 10.94 cm on the short hole and about 20.13 cm on the long hole. This was on her new ones.

'scuse my ignorance once again but im assuming that your 10 cm and 20 cm measurements were not of the link itself? I measure the link itself on my bike and between the distance of the two mounting bolts through the link is roughly 20 cms and the next mounting hole on the link would probably be around 22cms (I didnt measure that one so im am guessing while looking at a tape measure ).

SO im thinking my bike has already been lowered by one inch (by what you have shown me -my bike height looks like your second picture-) and going by the links available through ebay, the next hole would lower my bike by three inches from stock (which would be too low for me).

Im assuming the longer the link, the lower the bike (from what I have conjured up from internet articles). Pretty please correct me if Im wrong lol. This is kind of like a learning project for me and I am already gaining much knowledge and I will learn even more when I change out the tires. My boyfriend is a vehicle mechanic so he has some know how but not in the lowering-of-bikes department.

Correct, the longer the link, the lower the bike.

Here is a good link on lowering Katanas.

Do you feel comfortable on your bike, If you do i wouldnt change the height. Mines extremely lowered but i love the feel more than the look so im keeping it

Well its my first bike really so Im still trying to figure it out.
My experience is six years ago I did a motorcycle course which lasted two days and the one bike I tried I dropped about 12 times because I couldnt figure it out (and it was too tall since I was on my toes) and then I was put on a eliminator 125 and only dropped it twice (I then realized how to properly use the brakes and I didnt drop it again and aced the course and both exams ).
So now six years later I finally decided to buy my own bike and I know I am going to drop it because I have very little experience but it seems I would have more control over the bike if it was just that little bit lower so my heel is firmly planted on the ground and I can maybe have a slight bit of bend in my knees.My feet just barely sit flat and I find that if the bike leans AT ALL I will lose it and drop it on myself. I dropped it twice now, once in my driveway (stupid mistake on my half as didnt realize I had it in neutral and let go of the brake hoping to park it and it rolled forward and then fell on top of me, leason learned), and then once because I tried to put my foot down after stopping and there was a sewer grate there which was below street level and I ended up falling over since I couldnt hold the bike up on the angle. Probably didnt help that the ground was an unexpected inch lower than I thought . BUT thats it for last year which was my first year with the bike.

I am starting to think now though that maybe I could bring the front down a half an inch since the back end is already lowered a little and that just might give me what I need?

All else fails, I have some good bike gear and I just bought some frame sliders so I can drop it a couple more times and not bash myself or the bike up so bad and see if its just inexperience
OR go buy a bike that doesnt have a tall center of gravity and doesnt weigh fives times my own weight Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my kat
