Need help

[talXXL99]

its always been a dream of mine to ride a sportsbike! And I have always wanted to ride a katana. Recently I. Took a motorcycle safyet course got my liscence and bought my very first bike an 06' katana. I am having severe trouble with the height of thwe bike and since I'm a beginner rider I feel I need to get as much of my feet on the ground as possible. I currently have my seat getting shaved about an inch and was thinking of usinf lowering links. I have already adjusted the back suspension with a spanner but need more. I am 5 4 with inseam of 28". I love my bike and want to keep it but I also wanna be safe. Any tips on using lowering links? Is there any specific brand? How far should I lower the bike without majorly screwing up?..any advice will help. Please and thank you

For lowering links. I'd go with Pro Tek. I've had them for a few months now on my post 750 and have no complaints. As far as how low you can go, my bike is lowered 2" rear 1.5" front and I wouldn't go any lower just because of cornering clearances.

You could also check with Neoublie on here and see if he has any lowering links available.

one note: the more you lower it, the more likely you will have to adjust/fix the kick stand.

It s good to hear I'm. Not the only one .! I was really getting discouraged! What about sliders? No one here in my area seems to know about putting frame sliders on a katana. Any suggestion? Anyone?

Jaybell on here just bought a set for his post 750. There's several threads on frame sliders on here, and one member that also makes and sells some for the post Kats.
