“Hi Buddy769 here”
I am new to the forum; I own a Silver 2006 FZ1 with 3600 KM on it, when I picked it up on Aug/29/09, and now have 4300Km. So you can see I live in Millbrook On Canada. I just sold my 2005 SV650s; I got it June/06/09 with 4200Km on it, and sold it on Aug/18/09 with 11200Km on it.
That enough about me, for now. I am looking for a little help. I am 5’4”, so I have to lower my bikes. I lowered my SV with an adjustable link, about 1” no problems riding, because I didn’t ride it stock height. On my FZ I made new triangle suspension brackets, (from ¼” stainless steel plate at work). I moved the link hole in around 3/8” of an inch, witch lower the bike about ¾ “ to 7/8”. Then I loosened the trippel clamps and lowered the front the same. So now you know what I have done with the bike. My problem is my girlfriend gets a sour bum, & headaches from rides longer then ½ an hour. On my SV I read the forum from the SV forum web site, and got an 2007 ZX10 rear shock, witch made the bike ride & handle amazing. So I need some help to find out what will fit the FZ, to make it ride & handle better, and get a better passenger seat.
So any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Buddy769.
