How many inches/mm have you lowered your front end?

We lowered my friend's R1 6mm on Monday, wow what a difference in handling for such a slight change. Bike lays over so much easier now.

I'm down 8mm in the front and up 6mm (3 spacers) in the rear.

14mm total on a Gixxer 1000? Wow..I had 17mm on my old 2003 ZX7R and it while is really made it live, it also felt like the rear end wanted to come around over the front.

Currently on my 600rr I have 0...it really doesn't need faster turn in.

You'll notice a difference at 5mm.

Yeah, I know I was messing with Rogue about her height. But when she's that short I'm sure her feet would notice 1mm difference!

Yea 5mm is a decent percentage of her overall height....
