Thats right folks. The shinko 200 with 38psi works really well. The
Dunlop Qualifier I had on there spun at low rpm, ass end swings side to side
now the bike hooks hard and lauches. Front end wants to pull up so bad. Next
month I plan to stretch out 6in. Also I had the bike 3 3/4 in with stock rear.
After lowering rear 3in the front was way low. Almost bottom out during turning
lol. Hell I actually bottomed out at the lip of the garage hahaha. Well its back
up to 3in in front without sacraficing the super low look. You guys hate pictures
right? Well here you go anyways.

Yep, dat's real LOW!...like tear up headers and oil pan low! Mine is about 2.5 in the back and 1.25 in the front, but when I sit on it, it looks like yours. I can't imagine what that bike does with you on it!

Be careful or $$$.

LOL! thanks bbb. I will get a pic of me on it. I honestly have had 1 case of scraping.
it was the stock header ther was a big dip. BUT my forks are blown so I am sure good
forks I would not have scraped? But I love the real low look, but not destroy my bike.
thats why I had to raise it a bit. Hell the bike was so low, on the billet adj. kickstand,
the bike stood straight up, to where barely push the bike and it will fall onto right side!
 
You must be a liteweight dude having it that low. Us heavier guys would be replacing fairings and oilpans weekly with that much fork tube sticking up. I agree though, it looks great.
 
ahahah thanks. No I am 5ft 12in (hehehe) 210-215lbs weekly

not lightweight by any means.
right about alot of fork stabbing through the tree. Did some riding today, normal riding and only
had one incedent where it was the header that scraped on a dig going low speed. I may even raise another
half and inch if I rub again.

the shinko only spun on me when cold. after that, immediately after that the tire must have got warmed up
even after the sun went down, because that bad boy did not spin again. Just bites down hard and even at stock
length, bike wants to come up so bad but does not. Sure if I had even the stock exhaust on, it would come up.

Looks like you need to invest in some sliders.

Yeah, that's too low for me. If it works for you, cool.

But I am done with crashing now. Thing I got it all out my system
after 4 times lol. I am one who likes low cars and low bikes

Looks good my friend. Does the Shinko really hook up that good?? I wanna get a new rear that'll hook up a lot better for wheelie purposes, always seems to spin on me even after letting some air out but Im also lowered about .5inch in the back
 
Thanks 99, I see you are 1 inch away from being the same height as mine

just wish I had your power! for some reason I was under the impression that you
had a black busa? was it an avatar? anyways nice colors on your bike, nice touch
to the seat aswell

Might i ask why your dropping (layin down) so much. If its because you couldnt turn it, you might want to think about how much its lowered. Thats why i love my adjustable lowering links. Sits right at stock height (good for 2up) and in 10 minutes with a 3/4in wrench i can have it slammed on the ground.
 
no not tagged yet. next friday I will get it. last year I was paying 125$
a month for insurance. and now I will be paying 46$ a month for insurance. almost
3 times less. But then again nothing was reported. I wrecked doing a stupid stunt.
