Getting my 2" kit done in a couple of weeks, just without the strap. That with the "comfort" seat will be perfect! ... and of course it's 50% off now! 🤷🏾♂️😂
Dumb question but other than seat height what is the advantage of doing the lowering link? Does it help keep the front planted under hard acceleration or improve handling?
BUY THE BEARING TOOL!!!!! Do not try to do this job without the proper tools. 3/8 for the T55 on the top bolt in the link (you won’t have enough space with a 1/2. Even if you remove the subframe Careful with the center stand. Once the weight of the bike is on the center stand, it can get wobbly, lower it if you get to that point.
@@Babyjonjon10I didn’t have a tool. And I paid for it. It ended up taking 2 days. I eventually used 120mm socket, a 19mm socket, a piece of wood, and a C-clamp to make my own tool. Not fun
@@Babyjonjon10 I bought one on Amazon and I thought I got what he had in the video. It ended up not working. I found the link with the actual tool he has in the video. My luck, it was out of stock when I lowered my bike. So yeah pretty much, I ran with what I had. I snapped my 3” C-clamp trying to get the needle bearing. Went back to harbor freight, got me a 5” C-clamp and that didn’t give me enough leverage. So I went back and the 9” C-clamp gave the leverage I needed to push out the needle bearing. And yes, I tried heat first
@@Babyjonjon10 the hardest part of the job is getting the needle bearing out. I took the bike apart in 30 minutes or so. Put it back together in same amount of time. But messing with the control link and trying to carefully push out the needle bearing without damaging was the hard part
No, you’ll use the OEM bearings in your link and transfer them over. Easy process and keeps the cost down as the OEM bearings are better than anything else in the aftermarket world, but expensive.
Nice job dude. One of the vids that is about actually helping others instead of trying to act cool. Thanks for being in check!
This is the EXACT video I needed, thank you🤝🏼

Damn thats a lot of work for just 2 inches.
Will your lowering kit come with new bearings preinstalled in the link? or at minimum new seals?

What's the proper lowering measurement for the front forks to keep stock ergonomics?
1" drop...
Hey man, Are there really huge differences between the normal Seat and the lower Seat?
I didn't have a chance to try the low seat yet. 😫😫😫😫
How do you keep the fender from blowing though the intake/bottom of dash?
Do i need to make the cutouts if i lower by only an inch?
Do you need to lower the front? or can you just lower the back?
What exhaust is that? It looks good!

Which bearing tool you go with? Any cheaper option other than this motion pro $170 bs?

Did you just run with what you had or looked around and couldn’t find an actual bearing press?

Any issues with engine control internal fault message after lowering?
Will the bearings come included with the lowering links to make life easier ?

Looking for a 1" guide / instructions and can't find it anywhere. What will be the difference between 1" and 2" instructions?
Difference is you don’t have to cut for the 1”
Got any install videos for a 1" drop.on a 2023 S1000RR?
Same thing as this video
Quick Question: Did you have to replace the kick stand
2”, yes. 1”, no.
So what is the seat height in mm
My height is 5.3 can I ride Bwm s1000rr
Gonna be very tough bro. But anything is possible.
I'm 5'2 and I can easily ride anything within 810mm seat height . So I think you should be able to ride s1000r
I’m 5.4 ( 167 ) and 1’’ was enough for me
This BMW bike is lowered so you can flat foot it
That's too much work for 2 inches 😫
65lbs of twerking?lol
