lowering the klr
Welcome to the list. I lowered mine 1 1/2 inches, same as the lowering link
on the rear. I can get both feet down at the same time and I can get my leg
over the saddle too. Ride quality is same. I've heard that suspension travel
is lessened but this is not an issue for me. Enjoy the bike and enjoy the
list. There's a lot of us out there.
