lowering my r75/7 front end--how?
- changes the geometry and handling. The rake and trail is reduced which increases the changes for high speed wobbles
- reduces the fork travel
- side and centerstand usage is compromised
- loss of cornering clearance
But there are a few ways to consider:
- lower profile tires in front; higher profile tires in back
- use of an aftermarket top triple tree installed upside down allowing the tubes to protrude through somewhat, effectively lower the front end.
I'd think seriously about doing this just for looks...you could be creating a dangerous situation.

Can I even lower it? Can I cut the existing fork springs? Can I buy shorter springs?
Thanks in advance for any help.
