then try more abrasive products/methods.

there's bound to be something that can level down your paint enough to remove the scratches, or take off the paint entirely altogether tongue.gif thumbsup.gif

IMO, the only best way to lower the bike is to lower your seat height. Use offset triple clamp for accurate rake and trail adjustment (not cheap).

agreed, but my bike cheap 250 je so no worries going a cm or 2.

most r25 members lower 2-3 cm with very positive feedback, but since i daily commute my bike mostly, i'd prefer the more upright handle bar so i only lowered a cm.

bike's definitely feels more agile/more willing to lean hehehe

The engineers have thought of everything when they determined the bike's height.
Like monaz mentioned, it is better to reduce seat height.

P/s: Same goes for tyre size, but that's another story.

P/s 2: I had a minor scratch on my tank too. I used cutex to cover the scratch tongue.gif

https://rideapart.com/articles/how-to-lower-a-motorcycle

found article about lowering down bike. It says better change suspension then lowering fork.

and most bikes are build for people weighing ~80k g (which I understand as if 80kg guy get on, the spring will lower to the "right" height). So, how much does a person with weight around 65kg lower their bike to gain the appropriate bike height?

Yes please upgrade to B full for ease of mind to buy your dream bike. Try Royal Enfield. Now I think no more in MY.

The rest is all Harley......all also easily 70K - 80 K and 800 CC above....
