Mind if I ask why?? I see youre in Mobile, looks like I'll be moving there for a job shortly. I'd never lower my F2 unless I did somthin like a 900 swap with a 100 shot of nitrous :-D But what can I say, my F2 spends most of those hard miles on the back wheel...

Yea I don't really get the lowering/stretching thing myself outside of the strip, on cars either... just ruins the bike's ridability.

To each his own I guess.

Thumbs up the reason

After looking at a stretch f3 i've changed my mind, but by me being a girl it must be lowered.

I bet the dont wear gear or lean the bike either lol.

if your real short I can see lowering it some. All stretching a bike does is ruin its handling, unless you are drag racing it.

gear should be worn regardless when riding, lol. Tho it is a personal decision we all have to make. I like my skin tho lol. That and we can dehydrate faster riding around in a t-shirt etc, than when wearing a jacket tho most dont believe.

Yep, faster evaporation = increased sweating = faster dehydration. Though I bet most people don't even think to consider dehydration.

+1 on the gear. You can get hit by a car just as easily on a straightaway as on a twistey section.
