Adjusting Suspension on a Bandit
 

I'm thinking to sell my Bandit to a friend who is a bit shorter legged than I am. Can the suspension be dropped a few inches or is there not that much play?

Short answer is no I can get really involved if you like but a lowering kit is the only real way. http://www.streetfightersinc.com/LoweringKits.htm

To get more then 1/4in-inch of play is what your going to have to do. Rear springs are more for preload adjustments, damping/rebound all that fun stuff you really don't get too much height/lowering out of them.

Thanks. That's only 30mm, a bit more than an inch for the Bandit. That's not enough for him. Ah well.

well how short is this guy? cause 30mm is pretty big...I think there are some 45-50mm out there too. I just copied and pasted the first one i saw

He was on his tippy toes leaning to a side, not even straight up really. Dangerous. 30mm is a bit over on inch, he still wouldn't be anywhere near flat footed.

Yeah your right...damn that sucks
