How can i lower the rear end of my bike by like one inch?(02 F4i) and my buddys F4? If i lower just one inche would i need to adjust the front also? Thanks

 

This topic sure has come up alot lately!! You can lower it using Lowering Links ( and you can get these from any Tucker Rocky dealer ( any motorcycle shop should be able to order it from them, but they are a DEALER Only distributor and do not sell to the public) and yes you will have to lower the fork height by raising the tubes in the triple clamp. DO NOT TRY THIS BY YOURSELF!! To lower the front you have to release the pinch bolts on the triple clamp and if the motorcycle is not supported properly the whole thing will go SLAMMING to the ground!! Another thing you might have to do is to have the kickstand shortened as well otherwise the bike will stand straight up or just fall over when it is parked

 

screw that a inch aint that important to me.

 

Get the corbin seat. Seat will run about $300, but you don't need to mess with the suspension. Seat will lower the seat height about 2 inches.

 

wheres a good place to get them, ive searched before but seem to only come with corbins harleys seats.thanks

Just let all the air out of the rear tire. Thatll drop it abot an inch.

 

For short people ( like myself) it isnt the height that is really the problem it is the width of the seat. And F4i's dont have 2 inches of foam in the seat, they are bricks covered in vinyl ( at least that is what it feels like) the F4 on the other hand is fairly cushy

 

Dont let people discourage you. Lowering your bike is not hard. Teh ony thing you need to buy is the lowering link. If you go to the dealer and they say they have one that lowers the bike 1 in, and 3 in, make SURE IF you want the 3 in lowering, because the one i got was for an f4i, and UNDER the lowering link, it said ONLY the 1 in will work. The 3 in wouldnt work on the f2, f4, or f4i.

But, lowering the front isnt that hard at all either. As long as you know the PROPER steps, youll be fine.

 

i think im gonna keep the standard height but look into the corbin seat. thanks for ya'lls input
