Does anyone know if I can lower my GSXR600R
I can ride it ok but my legs are a little short. does anyone know how to lower the bike.
When I was born I was asked what do you want short legs or a big ***** ---- My mistake I took the BIG *****

You can longer the actual bike, however this either messes up the handling or slashes your ground clearence, so before going down that route I'd suggest getting the seat re-sculpted. This should make it easier for you to get your feet on the ground. Usually the remove padding from the seat, especially near the edges to help you get your feet down. This maintains the bikes ground clearence and handling.
That said you can get a shorter rear rear shock from someone like Hagon or similar, you could get different tie rods or "dog bones" in the rear linkage to lower the rear whilst keeping the OE shock. If you down down this route you'll either need to lower the front by the same amount by pulling the forks through the yokes, thus losing you ground clearence, or you'll have to put up with it handling a little strangely.

Thanks Big Man
I will look into doing something with the seat
Its kind of hard to get good info in this part of the world, I live and work in Abu Dhabi and they kind of tell you anything to make a sell, half the time you cant find anyone who knows what they are talking about.
The forum is the best option for me. you get great feed back from guys like you.
Thanks again
