    Ok so I had a guy make a whole new solid bracket for me so I could put the 929 shocks on, and I put everything back together but I noticed my swingarm was lower than OEM and I'm wondering will it be ok lowered? I took it out and rode up the road and back and that shock turned my 5th gen into a different bike,huge difference,but I didn't get on it to hard cause a mechanic I talked to said I could mess up the geometry of the bike and yada yada. So ADVICE NEEDED AND If you havent done the CBR929 CONVERSION your missing out

    I'm sure we covered this in PMs and at least one of your other thread on the 929.

    Glad you got it together and are happy with it!

    Most people refer to ride or seat height. We have no clear idea which way you need to go when you describe it the way you are.

    Is the seat too high or too low?
