Stretch and Lowering project

[BTGendron]

BLUF: It’s not done yet, but I’ll be slowly ordering parts to have it completed in the next couple months!

I called Spiegler brake lines and they already have the specs in their system for stock length of the brake line. I ordered 6 inches over stock, stainless braided, coated in black to retain OEM look. They have tons of colors to choose from! The line comes preinstalled with all the necessary grommets that the bike came with, so that’s super awesome! All in all, it was 70 bucks shipped.

I also ordered an EK 150 525 gold link chain, which I’m told has plenty of length to accommodate a 6 inch stretch. This is their new “zvx link” chain... whatever that means, but advertisement shows like 30% longer life. Anyways, I ordered through Dennis Kirk because it was 20 bucks cheaper than ordering through Brocks. I like brocks, but man, does anyone else feel his prices are a little “primo”?

Lastly showed here, I did end up lowering the front to about the max I could before it hit the bottom of the handlebars. It ended up going about 1.25 ish inches. I can’t say it really helped much because today it decided to pull a full 2 o’clock wheelie in 3rd on the highway at about 90. So needless to say, this stretch is a must...!

Well keep us updated on the progress. What are you going to do about the wheel sensor, not sure it will stretch 6".

Brocks sells a 15 inch extended speed sensor cable for 70 dollars... another primo price for something I feel should be sub 50 bucks IMO

Update. All completed and boy does she sit pretty AND it hooks beautifully. The front wheel is PLANTED at a 40mph hit in 1st gear. Absolutely love it!

I taped it off and used brake caliper paint just sink into the letters. Quick and super easy.
