to lower or not to lower
Matt,
We WEREN'T talking about mounting my horse...! When I do, I ALWAYS (after I put in the
.25$ in the coin slot...) get on FROM the left, BECAUSE the right side is too close to the
window at Safeways!
So there.
Ed ;>)

I don't think so. When you lower the front and rear, as I have done on my wife's bike and mine, the characteristics are the same. Did I lose ground clearance, absolutely. Are the wife and I still going to have fun on our 5 week trip to Canada this coming July and our 12 week trip from Mexico to Panama Canal and back starting in December, absolutely. When I get back from both I'll let you know how bad our trip was because of the characteristics while you guys debate this on the discussion group. --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, "J Fortner" wrote: > > On 4/13/06, 4_stroke@... wrote: > > > > Just got a klr 650...with a Givi box on the back.
