Lowering front suspension on 2009 1700 Voyager

[grandbo20]

Gentlemen
I've ridden this beauty 27,000. miles. At 68 years old; I'm not giving her up. She is heavy and tall. I've dropped the rear by 1.5". I need to drop the front. Can I loosen the triple clamps and slide the tubes up?
Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated,
Larry

....I've watched similar posts on VROC, the other Kawasaki line 'a scoots,
and the best way seemed to rework your seat and not mess with the
road worthiness of the scoot.... JM2C

Mustang is known to be a lower seat than stock... try it? Or someone
that has one, for a quick sit....

Yes you can

Here is what I did; I removed the stock fork springs and installed a set of Race Tech fork springs for my weight. With the proper preload it lowered my front end about 2". The only drawback was while riding very, very, aggressive on the Tail of the Dragon, I was dragging all of the exhaust system on the left and floor board and exhaust on the right.

My in seam is 29", Age 68, height 5'9". I can sit on the seat and flat foot the ground. I've also changed the seat with a custom seat which lowered me a bit. Does not matter which custom seat you use. Just let them know what you want the seat to do for you. Other things I've done are move floorboards back, 2" risers on the handle bars, and moved my seating position forward 1 1/2" from stock.

The problem with lowering the rear of the motorcycle is you transfer to much weight off the front end. Which makes a motorcycle wonder on the road and a vague feeling in turns. Where dropping the front gets the weight onto the front tire and helps in straight line stability and turning. With proper fork springs.

Note the length of the Race Tech spring, very short. The spacer was supplied with fork springs.
