I am looking into lowering my bike so that it fits me. I am 5'5 and 175lbs. I am looking at all the options. I have already shaved my seat down and that helped out a bit but I need about one inch more.
I have been looking into getting a lowering link and adjusting the fork height to make the bike balanced but I cannot find a lowering link for a 2000 rm 250. (If someone knows of a manufacture that makes one please point me in the right direction?)
So the next option would be to modify my subframe to make it sit lower but I cannot seem to get any directions on how to do that. Do I have to get it professionally done or can I do that on my own? If you have had this done to your bike please let me know how you did it or if you had to sent it out to get it done then the shop name and address would be a great help.
The last option I have is to get the supsension lowered but that looks like it is going to run me about $500 -$600 dollars from what a local shop says. Don't know if that is a rip off or not? Maybe someone could tell me that? They said they were going to put in the correct spring ratings in the forks and add bushings. They were also going to put the correct spring rating for the rear shock and a custom built lowering link.
Any one with any suggestions or advise???? :whoa:
Thanks
