Hi everybody - great forum! Probably the most helpful I have seen. I did a search for this answer but didn't find anything.
I have a 2008 FZ6 that is lowered with a Soupy's lower rear shock mount - I think it lowers the bike about an inch, and also I have lowered the front about 3/4 inch.
Today I received the FAZR6 FE kit from Larry on Ebay (very well made), but it states on the first page of the instructions not to use on a lowered bike. I don't think the Ebay ad mentioned this. Before I ordered I looked at the side view before and after pictures and didn't really think about the possibility of the license plate hitting the tire....which is my fault.
I am 170 lbs. with the rear preload set on 3. Has anybody used this FE with a lowered bike? Would the plate hit the tire if the shock bottomed out? And if it did hit, would it just rub or would the wheel lock up?
Thanks a lot!
