Lower handle bars.....??
Ok, so I'm a stubby chick and had to put the roaring toyz lowering kit on my 250. With the the blocks on the front i'm not sure what options i have for a more forward riding position.....
Anyone have the issue? What should i do? |

What do you mean by more forward? You want to lay over the tank more? A more aggressive riding position?

Clip-ons will move the bars forward and lower for a more aggressive/sport riding position. But no offense if you are as short and stubby as you claim it might be to the point of discomfort when doing city/ around town riding when you do not want to be full or even partial tuck.
I just put my Woodcraft clip-ons on my bike and it is a noticeable difference especially when sitting upright. I am 5'7" and i don't think i would want them any further down and forward than they currently are for around town commuting. If you know some one who has clip ons installed go give it a ride and see what you think. just my 2 cents |

That's what i want to do but not sure what to do about the lowering blocks. the lowering links are at the second to lowest setting.... I was told by a buddy that not having the front end level with the back would affect turning and maneuverability....

I have Moth rearsets and Woodcraft clip-ons and my lower body/back starts to feel the burn faster than my ZX6R. |

Leave the the forks exactly where they are so the front is lowered the same as the rear. Take the blocks off. Buy clip-ons. Install. The clip-ons allow you to lower the nose because they allow the fork tube completely through the triple. The front and rear will still be lowered the same amount, but your bars will be lower relative to the triple and you won't feel like you're riding a standard bike. That make sense? |

I'd also recommend some rearset adjusters or adjustable rearsets if you want a more aggressive body position.
