Basically, there are two ways. Use shocks that att adjustable for length, or use longer shocks.

You can get the same effect by raising the fork tubes in the triple clamps.

Either way, you need to be very careful. The farther from the stock setup you get, the more you increase the tendency for the bike to go into violent tank slappers.

Why do you want to do this?

onion Topic Author Offline User Posts: 5 Thank you received: 1	I'm sorry, but no pics to look at yet . Just striped the bike to the bare frame. But to see what I mean, look at any pic of a kz1000r to see that ,they all seem to sag in the middle. Levelling the tank seat and tail section is a good start ,but angling the frame to a more modern stance is my goal. The following user(s) said Thank You: martin_csr
