    I've had both my Huskys lowered via internal suspension mods. Les at LT-Racing did the trick for me and it was magic :thumbsup:

    Oh, you might want to check the cap lock on your keyboard; I think it's stuck...or were you just shouting? :)

    Send it to Drew @ WE'RE, he can do it. Better do the shock so the balance front to rear is equal. If not you will haves some serious under steer.

    Yep, Drew is a good option, especially since you're on the east coast. Good guy, easy to deal with and knows his stuff :thumbsup:

    dartyppyt, I think SMKN-1 is turning a dirtbike into a supermoto, hence lowering the front of the bike only...is that right?
    If so, remember that putting a 17" wheel on the front is automatically going to lower it 2".

    yes husky wr 250 into 80% street 20% dirt, 17 inch wider wheels

    most off road riding will be on fire roads and old rail beds, very few areas left where a 2 or 4 wheel off road vehicle can go
