Hey All
I did a search but I didn't find anything definitive on this so please bear with me if I'm being repetitive.
I'm getting a little tired of tip-toeing at every stop light plus I hate the fact that it's difficult to push backwards when I'm on the bike trying to back out of a spot so I've decided to install a lowering link on the rear and drop the front end likewise. Not too much .... Maybe an inch or so.
So my question is: Will I need to modify the side stand to accommodate the different bike height (I.e. Shorten it)? I've heard it said both that I do and I don't but I'd really like to hear from someone that's actually done it on an FZ6R.
I think I can tackle the job myself (well, me and my buddy who knows his stuff around bikes) but if I have to cut the side stand, I'd probably get the whole thing done at my local bike shop.
Anyway, thanks in advance for any insight you can offer.
Cheers.
