lowering a dr350 se

hola suzuki freaks,

my girlfriend is about to buy a used suzuki dr350 in switzerland. she is not very tall and the se model is to high for her, but she wants an electric starter.

any idea how to lower it? ok. we are cutting the seat out and turning down the rear shock, but I guess thats not enough. is there somewhere a kit to buy to lower the bike ? Or any other ideas.

As I am riding a tenere around the world, I don“t know much about the dr350 and I am not in europe to see the bike and to try things myself.

thanks from Sao Paulo

MIKA

Hi Mika,

Kouba sells lowering links for the DR350.
They are $80, shipping included, anywhere in Europe (I think).

What is the seat height of the DR350 with the lowering kit fitted. I'm trying to get down to at most 740cm.

And the DR650? How low can it go?

I'll bet it's not as low as you want, Charlie.

Guess who.
