lowering

Got these from a random guy I met at a gas station, he used to have a VMax and had these sitting in his garage. He had just the springs, but when I did mine it came with extra lowering springs and spacers. Spacers are uncut and lowering springs included have never been used. Progressive springs...

So I'm just going to say it that I"m not too savvy with Bikes...:ummm: all I know is how to ride them fast. and oil change....beyond that nothing.. however I'd like to change that with this bike...I want to start doing thigns myself...so start off, how hard is it to install the UFO link? Has...

Being a bit short, 5?7? with a 29 inseam I have always wanted to lower the Max a bit. Did the Corbin seat, took sending it back twice before they cut the foam the way I wanted it. When I first rode the Max, I was on the toes at stops, hated that feeling, bike is too heavy. With the seat replaced...

Am I the only one or are there other people out there that could use a little extra room between your feet and your knees. My riding position has my knees up a little high because of the distance between my knees and feet. In other words, just a little cramped for confortable riding. I was...

Just checking, I want to drop the bike 2", How often do you guys scrape the pipes or belly pans, putting in the race teck springs 1.0kg 250 lb rider, ufo exhaust, trying to see if I need 11.5" or 12" shocks? thanks for the input

Pardon my ignorance but I'm having a heck of a time grasping the spacers needed for dropping the forks internally. I have gone through and searched but want to confirm that I'm following correctly. If I am wanting to install progressive springs, in order to lower it, I add a pvc spacer under...

Ok, it's time to start looking at this winter's mods and I think it's time to change the front springs in my forks. My current progressives have over 80,000 on them and I think they are getting tired. I see that Progressive now has "Drop In" lowering springs for the vmax. My current springs...

Hello everyone. I am fairly new to the forum, have been reading posts for awhile but have never commented. There is some really great info on here for the new max owners. I got mine in April and have been enjoying the heck out of it. Per alot of folks advice, I had Sean Morley make me one of his...

has anyone tried lowering the gen II front forks internally by cutting the spacers? in my parts diagram i only see a top spacer that rides on a spring seat on top off the spring was wandering if cutting this spacer would lower the front?? if anyone's tried it let me know how it worked...

I bought the kit from sean and saw that there are 2 long springs, 4 smaller springs and the plastic pvc pipe. I watched sean's video 4 times on how to put everything back together but i have a question.... Which smaller springs do i use? Do cut 1.25 off of the pvc and throw away the metal tube...

my riding style is mostly cruising. I bought a set of progessive springs and a lowering kit from Sean. I got everything apart and i'm trying to decide how low should i go. I want to be able to use the center stand still without having to put the bike on a 2x4. I'm not lowering the rears. I...

I want to know the best way to lower a 2002 vmax. Can I just lower the rear with Progressive shocks? What length shocks should I get? Can I lower the front by just dropping the tree?

Does any body else have to stand on their tip toes while siting on their Max :damn angry: Well I use too. Plus the bike was so tall,..It was like mounting a horse. YA,..I'm a little guy.....with a need for big power :eusa_dance: So heres my low buget, labour intensive fix.! I took some carboard...

This is by far the most top heavy bike i've ever own/ridden. What can we do to help with it? I thought about lowering the seat, lowering the bike but was going to ask... thanks, sid

Just noticed that Progressive Suspension has this available now. http://www.progressivesuspension.com/dropin/index.html Unfortunately not for the Vmax:bang head: Hey Morley, any chance you could talk to Progressive about making them for the Vmax. It sure would be nice to not replace the...

I have the Corbin which is wide So I can't flat foot. I want to lower the bike 1 to 1 1/2 inches. Can I do this with shocks alone? Which is the shortest progressive I can get? My fronts are new progressives. Can I lower them? What do you all think about a lower bike as far as...

I have a question about installing lowering blocks in the front forks. Should I put a washer between the lowering block and the rebound spring? or does the spring just sit right on the lowering block? Thanks Richard

I have an otherwise stock 2003 front suspension with Race Tech 1.0 fixed rate springs and cartridge emulators. The rear shocks are Progressive 418's at 12.5 " long. Since the Progressives are shorter than stock, I'm guessing I need to lower the front about 1" or so. I have done that by raising...

Hey guys I was interested in if anyone was interested in some lowering brackets for the factory luggage rack. I have a design layed out that a machinist friend of mine plans to build for me. I set it up where its about 2.5 - 3 inches lower than stock. This places it right above the rear...

Anyone make their own lowering blocks for the forks? I want to use a progressive spring kit with their lowering springs but I was hoping to get a 1.5" internal drop. They only offer 1" or 2". Can I combine a homemade block with their lowering spring? Or just use a homemade block only. Worst case...
