Danzatvnutz Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Looking for a pic or explaination of where to put a lowering strap on the front end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkxx Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Since it's after 1:00 am, maybe I can get you a shot tomorrow. It uses the upper caliper bolts IIRC. A strap really don't fit great on the Bird because of all the linked brake hoses but it will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danzatvnutz Posted March 26, 2006 Author Share Posted March 26, 2006 Thanks, would greatly appreciate it. Also where at the top would you mount the strap so it doesn't effect the steering to much. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northman Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Thanks, would greatly appreciate it. Also where at the top would you mount the strap so it doesn't effect the steering to much. Thanks again Over the frame behind the triple, and under the brake line. Little bit of playing, but it can be done. Only thing you need to worry about is the buckle swinging around when you slacken the strap, hitting the radiator. If you aren't planning on using it that day, just remove it altogether, IMO.

I don't want to keep taking the bolts in and out of the brakes. EDIT: Well, I just went out and looked at mine. It does not hit the rad with the bars straight like you would ride but if you go full lock (like locking the forks) it does hit. Yea, my rad is banged in some. Thanks for the heads up North. It has been on for two or three years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverbird1100 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 BTW, a 120-60/17 will drop your front almost an inch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danzatvnutz Posted March 27, 2006 Author Share Posted March 27, 2006 do you need one on both sides to balance? or will 1 strap do the trick? Edit: oops I see it now.. duh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
