Hey,
I'm new here and currently in the process of my first complete build - 1971 Honda CB350 twin.
So I'm only 5ft6 tall and was looking to lower the bike about 1.5 - 2 inches. I know there is a heap of information on the site and i also found quite a bit googling but nothing specific. I found that there are so many different methods specified for lowering the forks thats its all a bit overwhelming… If anyone has specific info on the best and safest way to do it id appreciate the help.
Ill prob end up getting a set of 'shorty' rear shocks from DCC so no issues there.
As far as the front forks go my cb350 has the external fork springs underneath the painted fork covers… How do i go about lowering these front forks without pulling them up through the tree?
Should i consider swapping out my forks for another model? Do the forks from a later model CB360 bolt straight on, or any other options for an easy transition? I don't want to go crazy customising the front end as id like to keep as much of the bike original as i can..
Apologies if i sound like a noob, appreciate the help.
Thanks,
Marc
