it's been great weather here the last week so I decided to lower the front of the XR650L a bit more... I've been wanting to do that for quite some time so today I finally got the job done.... yesterday I lowered the rear a tiny bit more
as I found I was not flat footing it most of the time.... just touching with the balls of my feet.... so a bit lower would not hurt at all.
I measured the front forks at how far they stick up from the tripple trees
and their both right at 3" now and I estimate the rear is lowered 4"....
the frame where the engine is looks quite level now, before it was tilted up a bit
(now it's not)
the swing arm in the rear is almost horozontal now.... so it is alot lower than it used to be.
..... it's really really close to having a 30" seat height now !
...
sense I have taken out most of the ground clearance I am seriously thinking of buying a good crash plate for the engine !
