Any suggestions to lower my CBR250R an inch?

you could try shaving the sides of the seat first to see if that helps before you put any money into it?

Lowering

Thank you for your suggestion. I read some of your comments on some other postings about learning to balance the bike I think I am going to try both...shaving the sides of the seat and learn to balance the bike too. You ROCK! Much thanks!

Brian, thanks for the video with the Gold Wing and the link to Lowering. The video was very entertaining and I have some reading to do with The Lowering. For now, I am going to do what DoubleGirl suggested shaving the sides of the seat.

no prob! i recommend using a turkey carver, made things much easier. i'm on my tip toes too, i've been flirting with the idea of getting the icon super duty boots because they have a pretty thick sole

Good idea, if the seat makes it workable, I believe it is best not to lower the bike and reduce suspension travel. Then later if you do optimize the suspension you have full travel to work with. I dont know about lowering links, but race tech claims they are not the answer. The main reason I quote them, is the owner of race tech puts out a lot of information, there are othr companies that can proably do the same thing.

Good morning DoubleRGirl,

Icon Super Duty boots...okay, I will look into this too. Anything that will help me to be stable when stopping would be good. Happy Friday and Weekend to you!!

Brian,

Thanks for all of your suggestions. I really appreciates all ideas and suggestions from everyone on this forum. I am so happy to be connected to other riders and share the same passion.

Happy Friday and weekend.

I've been told that Honda has an OEM lowering replacement link,
available through your local dealer...the part # is 52475-KYJ-900 - ROD SUB-ASSY

Worth a try....

FangShui, thanks so much for the info. I am going to call my local dealer and check if they have it......!!

Went for a 70 miles ride yesterday evening and it was awesome! It was a little bit cold 7:30 came around but it was still good to out there.

Great weekend to you!
