I just returned from an initial RUN with the lowered Ninja....
if anything it is faster reacting in the corners, so that is right !
the seat height is still much lower than stock , so that's right !
it's dark outside so I didn't bother to get the measuring tape to measure seat height... I'll get that later.
I went to the truck stop and filled the gas tank it was at about 1/2 tank so
I figured I'd top it off...LOL...
it was a good ride but too much traffic I really could not get into the cornering
much but what I did I think it has improved by quite a bit.
...so first impressions are great ! it's lower and it still corners good.
so all in all i think it's a win....
......

I don't know what the compression ratio is on a stock Ninja so I put in premium
gas... thinking it might be quite high sense that engine puts out so much power .
.......
although I can't be sure of anything yet.... it looks like it worked great !
I took a few good turns but not really hanging it out to dry and nothing drug
so , so far I think i'm safe ....
the way it sits it's good for most of my riding but I'ed have to push it hard to be sure.... and I haven't done that yet.
.....
my headlight needs to be adjusted Down... it was high before but now it's really high !
.....
I was afraid that lowering the rear so much would make it not want to corner, but that is NOT the case it corners just fine. at least for this O'l man !
LOL......
...
I'm beginning to think that this bike is the best cornering machine I've ever had ! LOL I'm quite pleased !
.....
