I'm sure you realize that raising the forks in the triples may affect handling but does not impact length of travel at all right.

True enough. Fortunately I'm the only one who ever touches my bikes, and at 6 foot I've never lowered a bike.
I did attempt to lower a 650 bandit for my wife with ****** results. So we did what we needed to, sold the bandit and found a bike that fit her properly.
As far as others I can only advise proper research and understanding before lowering any bike.

Pics. Or it didn't happen.
Rear is lowered 1 1/2". Raising the fork legs 1 1/2" brought it to stock angles. And I
I should drive down the street and drop the shock and fork legs off a Steve Beatie's parents for him to pick up and shorten them with spacers to drop the ride height properly. The way it is now it does affect it. Too much fork travel, lowering link works, but it's just not right. Nothing drastic. Mildly annoying, at best.

Then sell it like that guyor take it to shannonville
And taking it to Shannonville will change things how?
I don't see the problem. It's been appraised at 6500.00. /sarcasm.What in the actual hell? $6500 for a 93 ninja 250 in cruiser form, complete with rear drum brakes.

Almost 30 year old POS........ I guess you can ask whatever you want.
I wish they posted a picture of the appraisal. I want nothing to do with that crack smoking appraiser.

lol you still haven't even told me why the **** your forks are slid up in the triple trees.
what are you looking for confirmation. check your service manual, you missed a page.
I said the forks were raised in the clamps to match the amount the rear was dropped with a link. If you can't figure out why.........
Have you played around with the link? If so, does it change the rate noticeably?

Correct, I can't figure out why someidiot would slam their motorcycle suspension and then sells the bike like that.
and I repeat:
The forks are prolly moved because the previous owner is vertically challenged.He very well may have lowered the rear with lowering links as well and used ratchet straps on the front to fully compress them and check for clearance issues.
It's not "slammed".It's adjusted.
It's not "slammed".It's adjusted.
Not with the MTS yet.Haven't been able to ride it very much.I prolly will lower it tho.(not getting any younger) I did mess around with my Hypermotard tho.(same chassis)I lowered the rear about an inch and slid the forks up in the triples the same.First time around a roundabout i touched the sidestand down.Oops,back to original thank you.
The spring rate does not change.It's the same as moving your upper shock position on a twin shock.

Ya that's it the previous owner is very short.
total coincidence it happens a lot on bikes fitted with the tail tidy and a slip-on
As you have suggested to me on occasion, refer to your owners manual, it will tell you how to properly adjust your clamps and such, gives the correct torque spec too
The spring rate doesn't change, but the leverage point of the linkage (and the leverage ratio) does. I noticed a slight rise in mine with the Kouba link on it. Nothing drastic, but you can notice it.
