have you seen a dropped 1991
I was looking around and found a 1991 cbr1000 for sale on craigslist and it was dropped 4" it really looked sick. what is all done to get this lowered? I know the rear is the challenge. Swapped swing arm?

Don't know how they've done the rear . But you can drop the front by simply slipping the fork tubes through the yolks.
There have been previouse disscusions on how to drop the rear height , 'cos she's a heavy bike and for those with shorter legs it can be quite difficult to keep her upright if she starts to tip
So if you find out how to do it , post it up here!

i dropped mine in the front about in inch by dropping the tubes. i was looking at dropping the rear, but looks like itll be a lot more work than i care to do.
will, ill work with you if you want to try and do something custom, but it seems like we are going to have to switch up more than just the link for the rear shock.

"dog bones" won't work on this bike - something to do with the geometry of the suspension.
A shorter, stiffer spring might work. There is some history on this - look back through the "history: or send a PM to Dean0 - he's a whiz on suspension.
If I did that I'd grind the pipes off in an
hour. C'mon Sprockie - you had to fit Buell pegs to get them to touch down.....
A 1000F that low will smash the sump and fairings off on the first speed hump, and probably kill you. Fine if you only ride on airport runways, though

Nothing to do with pegs never did put those on looked to low everything to do with a very sedentary winter routine
have had to stiffen up the rear to take the added lbs / kg ........... so I've had to give up the Guinness
