Purchased a Schnitz Racing lowering strap and bracket on friday, they processed and shipped my order all in the same day, so I got the items today (tuesday). Very satisfied with the purchase, definitely excited to get to the track to see how she runs slammed! I did notice she became a bit tipsy once lowered, so I will have to be careful about parking on the kickstand while lowered.
I have a few questions to anyone with strap experience. My stock fork travel is 3 3/4", I was able to lower to 2" of travel. Do you normally go farther than that?..Perhaps to 1 1/2"? Also, what do you normally do with the slack when lowered.....? I've seen stuff about zip-ties, is this the most common method? I'm not quite sure what to do with it.
Don't let your strap go across the steering stem dust cap when you have it tight.You will crack the dust cap.The only way to fix it is by pulling the triple clamp apart and digging into it.Ask me how I know.
Cut the kick stand down save some money make sure to weld the plate of kick stand back on. Carefull with those straps man those r bound to brake. if u can i think there r other ways to lower the front. have u ran it yet on the track. I got a 07 also
