Re: Rear Shocks

Sharon Koontz lowered her front and rear suspension. The front was done by loosening the bolts that pinch the tripletree around the forks and sliding the forks up a little bit. The rear she lowered by finding shorter shocks. I'm stretching my memory, but they might have been the ones for a Kawasaki Eliminator 125. I rode down there last November and photographed the whole setup for this forum. I will now go and see if I can find that ancient thread, or if I still have the pictures.

Because she lowered the bike so much, she had to shorten the sidestand as well.
