Lower the front more than the rear, and your handling will quicken, but lowering the bike as a whole would reduce your clearance, and make your at-limit handling worse (and your limit, lower). That sharpened turn in will reduce your straight line high speed stability, also...... though the kat has plenty of straight line stability to spare!Any and all statements by Loudnlow7484 are merely his own opinions, and not necessarily the opinion of Katriders.com.

lets start with rake:
If you look at the contour of a Pre98 Katana clearance isn't a issue. There is room to lower the front to lesson the rake for better steering. If you lower the front 2", lower the back 1 1/2".TDA Racing/Motorsports

were talking about a slight change in handling for better or worse. like I said before, you hardly notice the difference under normal riding.
take it to the track, ride 50 miles then come into the pits. lower the bike then go back out for another 50 laps. then you might feel a slight difference or your times might get slightly better or worse.
otherwise, your doing it for appearance only

Agreed, that if you lower the front by 2", and the rear by 1 1/2", the turn in will feel quicker, which would be great for normal street riding/dicing through traffic. But lowering the bike as a whole WILL limit how far the bike can lean without scraping the hard bits.Any and all statements by Loudnlow7484 are merely his own opinions, and not necessarily the opinion of Katriders.com.

I just lowered mine yesterday. I am brand new to the Kat world, and found it painless, other than having to purhase an impact wrench to loosen one of the dogbone links.
I lowered the front about 1 3/8th inch. I did notice that it feels alot better riding, but I do feel some slight vibrations now when riding, which I never felt before. It feels like it is vibrating my hands.
Is this normal?GSXF 750 Wish List
