    Lowering a Honda VTR250

    Has anyone had reason to lower a VTR250 -97-2005?
    I think there might be enough lowering by removing a few MM of seat foam .
    No links on the rear shock so the only place to lower seems to be the front forks.
    The riders still on L plate/70k speed limit so its for confidence as they get used to the bike
    Any comments?

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    The most important things the lady learner needs is time, baby-steps, and no pressure.

    Maybe even a pit-bike for her to putter around on - just for funsies.

    But yeah, skim and narrow the seat, lower the front. I raised the forks in my wifes' 650 and it didn't quicken the steering at all that I could see.
