I know that I have to believe to each their own, and whatever makes you smile is a good thing, but to me a sportbike is meant to run and handle... Stretching one out is a kind of like hooking up a prize race horse to a wagon...

I think if it was me, I would keep the 10 the way it is and get a cheap cruiser or chopper :wink:

You must really hate lesbians and bi-sexual girls, too. :crackup:

I can't speak for you, but I love me some bi-sexual girls. Its like the BOGO sale at the local store - 2 for the price of 1. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

 

Hell, don't knock this guy for wanting to lower his bike.

If that's what he wants out of his bike then so be it.

As a matter of fact, after flipping my 10, I promised the wife & kids I would

stop the wheelie's. So I'm thinking about stretching & lowering mine also.

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

 

That's interesting - never thought it would peak my interest, but seems to make sense although not sure about a 240 rear, per the OP

 

Talk to Myrtle West.. they don't have one listed on their site, but I've seen one of their arms on an 08 and it looked really nice.

 

Hey i stretched mine 6 inches and lowered it about a week ago. And as a matter of fact i just got done with a 2 hour ride. I love it personally, the hit to handling is noticeable but not heartbreaking. Especially because all there is, is straight roads around here. For lowering, a little goes along way, your suspension softens so even little dents/ruts, whatever, you'll be scraping your belly pan.

Plus it just looks sooo effin sweet

 

you got any pics? im also tryin to see what itll look like.... ive seen plenty of first gens but cant seem to find any of the 2nd

 

I have Myrtle West extensions 4-7 in but i drag race mine, you will scrape the bottom fender but adjustable lowering links lets you raise and lower any time. Personally like the way mine looks 07 Candy Plasma Blue my 2

 

any pics?

 

Do what u feel it's still a 10. You already know the pros and cons. It should look sweet though.

 

Lowered and streched my 99 zx9 and loved it, had to get a stiffer rear spring and adjustable lowering links and a shorter kick stand. Still debating on doing the zx10. But with adjustable lowering links, kick stand and bolt on extensins and chain for stock/stretched lenth swapping back an forth is about a 30 min affair. Best of both worlds as the. Mood hits ya.

 

pics..

 

What size is your rear tire?
