Does anyone have a picture of a rider on the grom that has Composimo RaceBarz installed. I would love to see the riding angle and how stretched the rider is. Thanks

Thank you. It is a lot more comfortable looking of a ridding position then I expected.

Is that the 2" lowering kit or the 6" kit? Do you have pics of both?

I was wondering what it looks like if you don't lower it? Crappy? Does the ride suck if you don't lower it?

The only pics I was able to find on his site were comparing the length of the stretch, I didn't see any comparing the height of the lowering kits

In this pic it looks like only the front is lowered and it doesn't look to bad

Not sure about lowering but the stretch looks good to me

Both of those pics, me riding and the one on the lift, have the 2" rear lowering kit in it, as well as the 2" front end lowering kit that i've been developing.

I think it'd be fine without lowering it also... especially if you leave the stretch kit at its shortest position.

Personally my favorite "look" and riding feel is with the stretch installed, but at its shortest. This to me gives the best proportions, makes it not look SO short, but also not terribly long. The stretch wouldn't really hurt the cornering capability of the bike, unless you are racing on kart tracks maybe... lol! But on the road, it turns and handles great with it because turns aren't THAT short... and to ME personally, i find it a lot more stable entering a long turn at-speed... since the shorter stock wheelbase makes it TO ME feel kinda "washy" in the rear, or rather, the bike feels like it wants to over-steer/be twitchy a bit much... but of course i'm not a professional road-racer, just an average street-rider... so your mileage may vary

As for the 6" rear lowering kit, here is the 6" rear kit with one of the prototype 2" front end lowering kits, with the RaceBarZ installed (Bike belongs to 09challengersrt)...

By the time you put the adapter on doesn't look any lower than my pro taper se's

Stretched rear is for the hyabusa in the rough riders.

But the bars would be in the way of lowering the front

 

[vdubjim]

Id be interested in seeing measurements. 2" lowering, does that equate to 2" lower on bars? it would be close.

So do you need the composimo race barz in order to lower the front end?

[humilde_s13]

also wondering this. would at least bar risers w/ low bar fit the lowering kit?
