Lowered

[keysta]

So...
my 2012 super t, (all lower case) -has been lowered 40mm front & rear using the wilbers shock/fork springs. It is squat. Truthfully, it looks like it was pancaked

However, the bike has never been so stable! I get on the throttle and the front doesn't want to wheelie anymore boring)

I have a new assurance putting my feet flat on the ground!

So much easier to get on and off!

But... the kickstand is too long, I can't get the bike on the center stand, - I plan to swap with the t-rex adjustable kick and center stands.

In the second picture the bike appears to be leaning very nicely on the side-stand, was that picture taken before or after the suspension was lowered ?

mean bike bro

 

[keysta]

No, that was after.

It seems as if it's standing straight up... I'm worried it'll fall over.

 

[sheikyerbooty]

[keysta]

Lift with your legs!

haha yeah. i dropped mine in a creek in the middle of nowhere last month. bike was actually lying less than flat in the water (ie wheels slightly higher than tank). got her back up with the handlle bar end method. used so much force it slightly twisted the bars in the yoke. rode 350ks home with it on the piss. easy to straighten out. gave me a new appreciation for solo trips in remote areas on these things!

I got mine up using a method where this woman got a Harley uprighted with her back against it and just kinda' walking it up. I might've been mad too...
I did get cut off. Oh, - don't dive alone
