Lowering the HAWK?

NickThrash · 03-21-2017, 12:52 PM

I'm sure everyone can agree that the HAWK sits a bit high, being a dirt bike and all. And at the average height of 5'9, I have no problems when on the smooth, even pavement of the city roads.

BUT when off road and on hilly, uneven, sinking mud, dirt roads I feel like I am sitting up too high and cant achieve a "Perfect balance" when the need to put a foot down comes about, and I would feel more comfortable being a bit lower and being able to easily get my feet and legs more stable.

SO I was looking into lowering kits or lowering links for the back suspension and was wondering if anyone had ANY advice or recommendations on if I should even do this, what the best brand would be, if It's even worth it, or if anybody has done it to their HAWK.
