Hi, Now that i f got my 78 750a Running i need to look into lowering it a bit, I have short legs so i can't reach the Ground comfortably, i found some shorter Shocks for the Back but what can i do with the Frond End ?
Any Ideas ?
 
You can drop the forks in the triple clamps about an inch. I have done it and rode with it that way for many miles. Or you can put shorter fork tubes in. Cycle Xchange has shorter fork tubes as well as shorter shocks. They are my go too place for parts. Check out there frame and front end section.
 
If you need to lower it more than an inch, or don't want to slide the forks up in the trees, you can put a spacer on the damper rod in each fork to lower them. This will remove travel. You'll have to shorten the springs in the forks by a similar amount so you still have the proper amount of sag. This is a very common method of lowering forks in old bikes.
