How much can you lower a sport bike and how?


How much can you lower a bike such as a Honda CBR f4i? Also take into consideration what can be done with the seat. I'm considering purchasing a new bike and this time I want to be able to flat foot it for a comfortable ride (actually for comfortable stopping and control).

Please only answer if you have specific, firsthand knowledge of the subject (i.e. you are a mechanic or have actually lowered your own bike).

Thanks in advance!

These lowering links will lower that bike 1"

Lower it another inch by pushing the front forks up through the triple clamps.
Then with seat mods - another 1/2 - 1"
Remove the seat cover, shave off some of the foam and re-attach the cover (or get an upholstery shop to do it).

I lowered my seat height by 2 inches by taking it to an upholstery shop where they restructured and reupholstered it.Cost was $200.00.Also go to this link and see the optional accessories.accessoryinternational.com/l... - .They have several options.

It's not rocket science, put smaller wheels on it.

you can buy a lowering link as well, but this will make the bike less agile...
