Lowering?

[erilude]

How can you lower the front end of a 97 Kat? What are the risks involved if possible. Does anyone have a pic of one that has been dropped?

The process is pretty simple to do. All you have to do is loosen the triple trees around the forks, let them slide down a little and tighten it back up.

You want to make sure you only go a little though. Too much and you will affect your handling.

Any particular reason for the lowering?

it has some very good info, and brings up some points which you may have overlooked (ex. it might be a good idea to shorten the kickstand, as well)
