I am looking for a lowering kit so i can touch my feet on the ground flat footed while sitting on my bike so i can have better control. I have no idea what brand or anything to look for. If you guys cool maybe help gide me in the right direction that would be greatly apreciated! thank you!

 

Here's a STICKY on it.

 

here are a couple sites that helped me.

i got a vortex lowering dogbone and linkage for sale $50 shipped if you want theres 2 holes so it lowers either 1" or 3" heres a youtube vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZT0n...layer_embedded

 

The Soupysperformance dogbone that I got is FULLY adjustable. so it can change from stock height to -4" and everywhere between.

 

but im referring it to the person who started the post

 

Go Go Gadget legs.

 

I can't touch flat footed on mine either, im just used to it though. I'm 5'7" and i usually lean off to one side a bit at a light to get one decent foot on the ground instead of tip toeing it. I also try to avoid trying to "back up" a hill when parking. if the parking lot is sloped, just make it so the bike will roll naturally to get you out of the spot, or into the spot depening on slope. Not sure how tall you are though, height may be a bigger issue.

 

Ditto to Lonewolf, Im only 5'6 and usually just lean it to one side and get one foot flat on the ground. I have had a few times where I wish I was able to get both feet down, like hills, but im pretty much used to it now.

 

thats probably the most annoying part of having a shorter inseam.
I'm 5'8 and once in a while have a slight problem backing out of slightly up-hill inclines. Sucks. Sometimes I just get off and move it out side by side, a tad embarrassing. lol
or i just ride my nighthawk! flat foot nicely on her!
still, if you can half-foot or at least tip toe at stops I suggest you dont lower it. just imo.
