Just like it says

How much do you want to lower ?

[ronbuell]

I'll take what I can get.... 1" to 1.5" before sag would be nice.

Did you pick up a new bike?

Here is a kit to help lower the rear for that year.

Lowering the front you may be able to use a spacer. This is for a Beta fork but the concept transfers to the KYB's on the YZ I would think.  Check it out. I think this was how Connor's front forks were lowered.

Another video but with newer KYB shocks using spacers.

First Fork video very helpful.  I knew shortening the forks would be simpler, possibly I could tackle it.

Fork above, is  not shock.

Well, I've been toying with some TTR230s, and found an '04 YZ250F chassis for so cheap I couldn't resist.  So yeah, the Franken-bike ideas are rampant.... but solidifying rapidly.

I'm thinking shortening the shock like has been done with flat track bikes would work, just don't want to go that far with it.  Getting the spring right in the back is the issue, need a progressive spring like a WR.  Probably gonna get Racetech involved.  I'm also thinking we could use it for a test bed for your YZ as well.
