How can I lower the front of my 85 GPz? Should I? was created by H-60MGuy
Now that I have 70 miles on my Engine build, I am getting close to break in maintenance and while I have the bike down I would like to lower the front of my bike.

Is this advised? I am going for street/strip and I am not concerned with high speed cornering. I have tools and time, just need advice/opinions.

Fire away, Gentlemen!

the easy way would be to loosen the top and bottom tripple trees at the forks. then raise the forks in the trees. i dont see how it will make it handle like crap, but u will loose clearance.
it will turn into corners easier.
