Just got my B King back after lowering it one and a half inches, and it handles even better, I can now get my feet flat on the floor, but the bonus is that it handles even better in the twisties, I bought the kit from Fi International, but got the dealer to do the job, which took two hours, the front forks were lowered 14mm, they had to demount the rear shock, and take the spring out, so the supplied stroke limiter could be fitted, the Suzuki dealer who did it has sold a few B Kings, and when the mechanic came back after testing it, could not believe how much better it felt, he always thought they felt a bit top heavy, but was over the moon with the ease it turned in, still has same side stand, makes the bike a bit more upright, but seems safe, best mod I have done so far.

Keith - wow that sounds like a great mod! I know from experience that the B-King feels top heavy at low speeds.

I might need to think about this mod, but for now, I have bigger fish to fry.
