Never experienced any shaking at all — and I hit some high speeds in mountainous (curved) road conditions (primarily in north Georgia near Helen). The handling was different; there’s no doubt about a change in position and handling. You can always raise your front-end back to stock height. Take pictures and mark your existing triple tree position before making any changes, try it out, then change it back if you’re unsatisfied with the results. It’s not a terribly complicated process, or difficult to do… If raising it back to stock height, it would be WAY easier with two people.

G’day mate, just a question on the finished result… After lowering the front end by all but an inch, how did you find the bike handled? I.e, my worry would be that it would develop some shakes at high speeds etc. The reason i ask is because i like to ride in the mountains etc, and the last thing i want is shakes and instability going through corners up there. Was just after a follow up report on how you’ve found the bike after the modifications?

Thanks! They may have let their domain name registration expire — or could be having problems with their host (more likely the former than the latter)… Something like that happened once before when I was a more active member… Hopefully they’ll get everything back up and running quick!
