    Hello,

    just bought a '11 Superlow. Very nice bike. The online flaw I find at the moment is low cornering allowed. I was not expecting to be SO low in curves. Want to raise it with 12" or 13" rear shocks and longer forks. Can you share your solutions and pics? I'm concerned about final results (dynamics) and look of the bike... Don't want it to look odd!

    Thank you!

    Fit 12 rear shocks and rebuild the front forks with dyna dampers which will give you an extra 1 1/2" travel in the front. This will give you the clearance you want and still look good.

    If you are near by and want some pricing on parts and fitting my contact details are below.

    Thank you, is this going to mantain the same front/back height balance or I could get a higher back/front compared to stock setup?

    Make sure you replace the tyres. The factory fit Dunlops are rubbish. I have Metzlers on mine and has transformed the bike.

    Just scrape the bastard, haha. Get better pegs as well, the stock pegs are a good inch lower than a good set of flat pegs.

    I thought all superlows came stock with Michelin tyres not Dunlops... Mine still has the stock tyres and they feel great, have good stick to the road. I'm about due to replace the rear tyre, I've done 13,000 kms on it.

    I'm gunna look into higher wall tyres to replace the low profile scorchers , maybe get an extra 20mm more hight..

    On a related note, I have an Iron with stock shocks and was eyeing off something like the Burly Brand 13 inch shocks to improve performance. Anyone used these before?
