How to low My 600rr
The only true bike to be lowered is a 'busa...that's why it's the only one that comes lowered. All Honda's are low enough. Keep in mind all of our bikes are tested at certain heights, weights, speed, tires, etc......start changing too many things and safety goes out the door.
Well why are you lowering the bike?
Are you a short person? My friend is kinda on the short side so he had to lower his bike or else his feet would not touch the ground.
And contrary to what some may say, lowering the front may increase handling somewhat. My bike used to wheelie too easy. I had the front lowered maybe an inch. Well it did not wheelie out of turns & felt more planted. Rode it that way for maybe 7 years.
However like rEdLyNeR mentioned, I believe CBR's were primarily intended as great handling bikes that can go through twisty roads or dominate a racetrack. I think Suzuki was always the best provider of drag bikes though. They always had the biggest bores. Honda always seemed more interested in making road racing machines.
EDIT: to add below
As far as how to lower it, the front can be lowered by opening the triple tree clamps & letting the forks slide up a bit. There rears can be lowered by using what I just heard mentioned as "dog bones." That is a link that allows the swing arm to be connected to a higher point (the "dogbone" link). Just seen one of those connecting links on ebay today too.
