Check ebay for lowering straps. Most are univeral fit meaning it goes over the neck of the frame or triple tree then connects to the top caliper bolt on each side. This is the type I use on my 954 when I go drag racing.

if you dont mind tearing the forks apart you could put a couple spacers on the bottom out spring. Its a small spring on the damper rod. It will keep the forks from extending back to full extension i.e lowering the bike. If its a drag bike I dont see why not.

Reviving an old thread here... where do you guys buy the strap kit for the CBR? I have on 02 F4i and can't find a strap kit.

Thanks in advance!

Went to Chapparral racing here in San Bernardino... found a universal Brock's strap kit for $25.

For anyone who's looking, the 02 F4i is a non-radial caliper mount system.
