I have 06 pin, Ive had her just over a year and I've put about 9500 on her. Wanted to know if I put one of the 1 or 1.5 inch lowering brackets on the rear how much does this effect how she will take curves? When I got her last March was first time Ive had a bike in 20 years and this is my first victory so lot of this stuff is new to me. I live in east Tennessee so playing in the curves is a way of life and life is good. I feel like she eats curves like a fat kid eats donuts so I dont want to mess that up, but if my legs were any shorter I would be dorfs brother. If Im on any kind of slope I have to strain my nards and use tiptoes to get any pull or push power to move her. that why Im wanting to lower her a fudge. Opinions welcome and roll on!

do a 1 inch. instead of 1.5 and for sure move all the wires under the fender off to one side so the tire doesn't rip them off when you bottom out

...a custom seat pan will get you even closer, but it would not be comfy.

I wouldn't drop it any more than an inch.

If you like curves and don't want to mess with that I would not lower the suspension. I would try a custom seat first.

I like the boot idea too.
Quit trying to push the bike around with your feet. Use the clutch, throttle, and brakes. The first time I rode my XR I tried to push off and the saddle bag attacked my boot. Learned quick that these aren't like small bikes and they don't need the push-off.

+1 on leaving the suspension as is.
Lower seat and bigger boots would be the best route if you want to retain the handling.

You could get a seat off of an 08-11 Vegas/ KP low, 12 up KP, Vegas or Gunner. It is equals about 1" suspension drop by being narrower on the sides." If " you can find a set of matching side covers that would further assist your reach.

The steel frames will drag hard parts in the corners. I wouldn't lower it, go with the lower seat and taller boot suggestions.

THANKS!!!
I'm getting them!!!
Needed new boots anyway and I can always appreciate a little more height as I am a little vertically challenged on my Vision anyway. ​

 

[DarthDad71]

thanks everyone for your input. I will consider all

If you do lower it Witchdoctors makes an inner fender liner to cover the existing wiring.

I also own a 2006 kingpin I lowered mine 1 1/2 have not had any problems with wiring only floor boards grinding when I am aggressive in the corners and when I ride double up my belt seemed to rub the front cover
