Is there a way to lower the Drifter?

[chief]

that's my thinking too aralph.

My Drifter only came with the factory one up seat, wife and daughter were not impressed.
Ordered a two up from Corbin, beautiful piece of work and lowered my ride height by 2 to 3 inches.
I'm always switching the seats around and like the lower feel so much that I'm thinking about getting
a single seat  from Corbin also. This maybe the easiest way to go before getting into all the mechanical
stuff.

Yeah, there really isn't that much clearance under the 1500... seat adjustments, and lower profile tires if you can find them would help.

Otherwise, lowering the front is easy... spacers can be shortened, and you can buy shorter rear shocks.

Any time you lower a bike, you lose cornering clearance.  The 1500 has just barely enough to keep the hero knobs intact. If you lower it, A) must be the same relative change at both ends, to preserve handling characteristics, and B) you can't arbitrarily change the drive shaft working angle without problems. I would look into making the seat a little narrower and a little lower so you can reach the ground rather than altering suspension components....Probably cheaper to do that, anyway

I'm a shortie---and I've been using platform boots to be able to ride mine...looks like there is plenty of room underneath to lower it...I was told something about changing out the shocks and changing out the fork springs??  Is there some sort of Kit? has anyone done this that could give me some guidance?

Always find your answers helpful guys, thanx!
