How low can i setup an S4

[jerry]

I am having knee surgery and will have to make My S4 lower , but how low can i set the forks thru the yoke until it no longer stable or safe 10mm 20mm 30mm??? then i will lower the rear to match . i want to get the bike 20-30mm lower overall.

I would prefer a smaller lower bike now like a sportster or a Bonny or an aircooled M750 or M900 for ease of getting on or off as the are a bit lower but In thailand its not possible to sell the S4 without a massive loss £6000 and no dealers do PX either so my best option is to modify if possible plus i like the bike too much now.

Tire contact with the radiator on full bump is the limiting factor on the front.

ah ha ...thats good point to check , i will go 20mm on the forks and see what happens .

:scratch: so what's the rear limit :look:

[jerry]

rear has to match front or be a little higher , Ducatis normally have a front end bias .

My bike is currwntly 20mm higher at the rear anyway so I can come down a lot there
