Lowering Front Shocks
Lowering front suspension on motorcycles offers ride height improvement and drive ability, but this depends on how we approach to do it. Some uses the slipping method in where the telescopic tube is adjusted from the locking nut of the T-post as shown, I just really dont know how secure this approach, because of the tube may slip from time due to heavy bumps on the road. If you will analyze the tube, there is a groove
for the first bolt to secure the telscopic tube not to slip off in its place. That is what the groove stands for. To lower the fork the right way, we need to understand what makes up the front fork, how they work, what components that makes the whole front suspensions.
By dismantling it although i have troubles removing the damping rod bolt at the end of the fork looks like this part by part. CONTINUE reading........

Motorcycle Front shock fail
Motorcycle front shock fail in time especially if it came from an accident and just reused it, rebuild, pressed to salvage for further service.
Shown is what happened to my front shock last 2006. The left side front absorber took the hit., Buying a new one isn't possible, therefore was forced to send it to a nearby machine shop for pressing. From till then, it still serve my motorcycle front suspension to date. But, every year i have leak, damping rod bolt keep on loose, i always have to dismantle the front end, put it in a bench Vise for repair. But then got an idea on how to dismantle just the front absorber cap, and tightening the damping rod bolt at the other end of the suspension. Without removing the entire absorber for their original location, like the bolts that secure them from the T-post,
