[QUOTE="crazymike, post: 149362, member: 19472"] I made the decision to go with 02 KDX 220 . I plan on putting in my order this week. Do to my height, or lack of, I will be lowering the seat. First thing I plan on doing is sliding the forks up through the triple clamp. I then plan on having longer dog bones made and will take things from there. I am hoping someone who has done this before can help me. First, does anyone have measurements of their new, longer, dog bones, I plan on getting them made at a local machine shop, they don't seem too complex. Also, is there a company that pre-manufactures them for mail order? Second, did this change the handling in any serious way? Since you are shortening the wheel base does that not make it handle quicker? Did you do anything to fix this? Hopefully that's enough to start. I will do these things first, then proceed to shave the seat foam if necessary. Thanks for the help, unfortunately I'm old for my height making bike shopping a difficult task. I'm an experienced rider and am going to a full size bike to race enduros. The wr is too expensive and tall, the KTM is too expensive and parts are hard to come by in this neck of the woods. Sorry about the length, thanks in advance, Mike [/QUOTE]
