Lowering your front end (triple tree)

[Domiano]

Has anyone lowered the front end on the fz6r? Ive seen a video and this guy did it and says it handles better around bends. I was thinking of doin it but not sure how low i should go, any suggestions?

Anymore than 1" and the steering gets to light.

Mines lowered 1.7 inches with zero issues at any speed (have clip-ons). Have done slow speed drills and plenty of riding at higher speeds on straights and curves. Had mine lowered for 2+ years.

I'm also interested in this, I know it's possible of course but not sure about the ideal amount to lower it.

Is 1.5 the best or what?

Woodcraft 1.5" rise 41mm. Don't need clip-ons to drop your forks. Can lower the forks to see if you like it. I had my stick bars rolled back to lower them a bit before I changed to clip-ons.

Did the 1.5-1.75" rear lowering link + 1.25-1.5" front fork drop. I liked it, some other members didn't like it. The steering did get lighter.
