    Awesome video! Very well done, but do you like the handling of your zx6r lowered? I like the looks when its lowered but Im scared to do it. I wanted to lower my brand new 2023 Zx6r, but my local bike shop said it was not a good idea because it will absolutely throw off the handling (unless I was planning on only doing lean angle equivalent to a moped, then it would be ok). The bike shop said that lowering a sport bike would basically turn it into a cruiser, but Im curious what you think about it your lowered zx6r? Great job on the video and I do like the look of the bike when its lower (but I do care a lil more about how the bike handles than looks). Thanks for posting....

I am asking because the description says this link won't fit to my 1998 Suzuki Bandit 1200s. I could not find any links that says fit to 1998. I will appreciate your comment on this.

    Does lowering your bike affect the way it handles, drastically? Or do people just assume it does without actually having ridden one before? I mean, I'm sure it affects the bike's characteristic.... but people make it seem like it will mess up the handling of the bike.

    absolutely necessary. find some way to attach a torpedo level to the bike and check how it sits before you lower it. then check again after the work is done to make sure its sitting the same. ride height/steering geometry is important, fuck it up at your own risk. it can be an inch closer to the ground but as long as the angles of everything are the same, hard to go wrong =D
