Alright, I have a lady friend that has found a deal on a used S4. She would love to git it, but said it would just have to be lowered if she did. So do any of you fellers know of a lowering kit fer the S4? Just wondering if there is a readily available kit. I reckon I could always git one made, but would like to know if there is one available now. Many thanks my fellow bugeye friends. :-D
I just lowered my wifes new S4 2 inches. The front is easy by dropping the fork tubes in the tripples. The rear I just adjusted the shock. Dropped a full 2 inches. I am going to carve out some of the seat today. You can lower these bikes for free, Don't waste your money on a kit. The only thing I see as an issue is the ***** oil drain plug. It hangs down so far. I assume to clear the fairings on the TT600. I'm going to look into shaving it down and re-tapping it for the plug.
thanks for the replies people. Fury, I have contacted Great Bay, but I will tell her that the rear shock can lower the bike enough itself. And many thanks on the heads up about the drain plug! :hammer: That sounds like an accident waiting to happen! :hammer:

using the shock to lower it disturbs handling alot technically.

I just backed off the preload on the spring. My wife weighs 100 lbs soaking wet. She doesn't even move the shock when she sits on the bike. I agree normally this wouldn't be the best way to go, but it worked. BTW, does anyone know where I can get shorter tubes, and if I will need to get shorter internals if I do? Thanks
it alread has on some S4's
