Lowering can be done on any bike... Yes that is a wild statement !
but it can be if your determaned to do it !
the type of older motorcycles with 2 shocks going down to the swing arm can be by buying shorter shocks, or like what I did just weld a bolt to the swing arm
back further than the normal post for the shock to sit on... that will lean the shock more and give you a softer ride too...
...the type of mono shock with "Dogbones" are usually very easy as lowering kits are available all over the net.
the harder ones are the type like the CSC RX4 has it has a block with 2 arms coming off it.... but those can be lengthened or a new part made
....
the front is easy, almost all bikes can just raise the forks in the triple trees
although there are some with tapers below the top tree, those demand a spacer to lower them.
.... so you can have a lower seat height... but again be careful you don't drag on the corner ... corner and bumps can make stuff drag that never drug before !.... LOL....
