slamming a gsxr

[LoudFast1984]

just wondering what your all doing to get your bikes slammed ? more so the front end , what would be good on the street ?  lower blocks, straps,  ?

[1low04Busa]

cut forks internally

[LoudFast1984]

well how would one go about doing something like that ?  bring it somewhere or do it myself ? i would prefer to do it myself

Internally cut r good. But if u r ridin on the street alot maybe straps,, that way u could adjust to how low u want it whenever u want it lower alot or just alil..

loosen the triple tree and slide the forks through..

I should have suggested this before. Straps are ok, i wouldnt trust them , but to each his own!

loosen the triple tree and slide the forks through..

  Go too far and prepare to bust your oil pan after a good wheelie.

Most of the time when you got it that low all you do is spin the rear tire unless you really clutch it.  Either way, something to watch out for none the less.

loosen the triple tree and slide the forks through..

this is the route I would take, start slow and test on the street and then adjust further after testing

if your doing all that plain simple  2 inch cut forks a stariaght link and fully adj links and it will be in the weeds

If you are wanting it lower than that, the safest would be cutting the forks and sliding it through the triple tree.

Schnitz has lowering blocks LINK  Then you don't have to cut your forks.

I did those by myself and works good.

[LoudFast1984]

how much of a pain was it to install ?

[prosb]

It was   Got a couple hours to think how the hell I'm going to do that. I didn't have anykind of instructions, only thing I had was that picture from schnitz website

Here's another LINK

Cut the part no13 about 1/3 off and make same size piece as cut off from smaller diameter tube an put it in under cylinder no7. This mod not change spring pressure.

It's hard to explain it cause I made that mod about 2 years ago and I can't remember it anymore clearly. Someone could explain this better.
Maybe theres some instructions with schnitz set.

cutting forks is very easy and can be done easily oif you have access to a machine shop and don't do hack work
the internal spacers offered from schnitz are basically cutting the forks (you don't machine on the tubes)

[LoudFast1984]

so i got the forks all done up and i bought the adj lowering links and a straight link , its lower than ever  now but not the shock is the lowest part again its like  i need to get a custom shock now so i dont drag that down the highway anyone out there done aftermarket shorter shocks ?

on my busa i pulled the strap down,let the air out of the front tyre and measured the remaining fork travel and comapred that to the header to ground clearance.if i had some to spare i slid the forks up that amount.Never crushed a header that way coming off a wheelie.
