Lowering question
I have a question regarding lowering a 883. What would be the easiest way to lower the motorcycle so I have better balance when placing my feet on the ground. I am 5'5".
I've read a little bit about lowering kits that include rear shocks. I also saw lowering blocks and of course thinner seats. What would be the easiest, quickest and cheapest route? Any recommendations would be highly appreciated. |

Here is the easy way to lower the back.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2000-01-02-0...aec3f8&vxp=mtr I made my own, but this is what you can get ! |
that ebay lowering kit is the exact same one i got and its still going strong today.
dropped the rear end by around 3". also try picking up a thinner seat off ebay. the stock seat for the '48' is an inch or two lower than the stock iron seat. thats the road i went down |

I'm 5'3" and I tried boots with a higher heal and yes it works...however, I still wanted my feet flat to the floor so I ended up going with the Burly Slammer Kit. It's a great kit but do know you'll lose clearance and the shocks are stiff as hell as it feels like Im riding ridged at times, but I got use to it am happy with my new stance :)
