I'm the happy owner of a '09 WR125. I want to lower the bike about an inch or perhaps slightly more. I have been in touch with a couple of shops that I'm sure can do a good job and once I can spare the coin and do without my bike for a bit, I'll likely go for it. My question is what to do about my side stand. I actually like the one I have, but it's already as long as it needs to be at the stock height and I'm concerned that it will become a problem with the bike is lowered. Could anyone who has been down this trail make some suggestions?
I've never lowered a bike but I do know the SMR side stands are a little shorter than the TE, WR, ect. The SMR with its lowered suspension and small wheels is probably close to 2 inches shorter than its dirt brothers.
Bottones/A.C.E. Suspension always included cutting down the side stand to proper height, for the bikes they have lowered for me.
or I'm sure a local welder can chop and put it back together for like 10-20 $ or a 12 pack if you don't have your own lil welder. Thats what iT cost em to ADD length to my 610 sidestand. Just chopping length is even easier and quicker..15 minutes of work probally for a "pro"
