finished my 2 1/2 in drop....I am not a complete idiot when it comes to mechanical things but if you do not have the right tools for this mod it is very difficult. 1. you need to remove the bolt on the right side....this requires getting the right side plastic cover off....the one in the tool pouch is to long, so hope you have a smaller allen wrench. 4 mm is the right size but you need a smaller L, at least it sure makes it easier, of coarse you could remove the pipes, then it's easy to get at the small allen nut. 2. you really need a 1/2 socket with a long extension to get at the bolt on the top of bones....this is very tight and you really need alot of room to get enough torque. the bottom nut isn't to bad....that was easy. 3. have a bike jack or a strong friend to assist, wife and children do not count! with all that said, the mod is great, you can really tell the difference when you sit down on the bike. I'm a tad under 5'10", so now I am more relaxed at a stop, not to mention the wheel in the fender just looks better. |
