Noob Question: How do they lower the bikes? and how much does it usually cost? (average price range) thx!

 

front: loosen the triple clamps and set them down lower on the fork tubes.
rear: use lowering links, basiclly compresses the rear spring.

but it will negatively effect handling, alot of R&D goes into the precise geometry of sportbikes, small changes can have large effects

thats how my short friends do it, for drag racing they might do something different, i know they strap down the front end so the forks are totally compressed, not sure about the rear

 

I'll say this again. DON'T lower your bike.

I don't see the whole point of performing this on your bike.

 

so you can stand on it if you are short
