That is quite a feat, considering how much you ride. Wish they had better lowering options for us shorter...

No doubt about lowering it, but honestly I'd be weary of lowering mine. I see enough gravel / dirt mountain roads that I'd worry about losing any clearance. I've "bumped" the pipes a few times allready. Must add.... Oh, and the rear marker housings are marked up...

I bought my brand new '07 last summer. Never been dropped, scratched, dinged or otherwise defiled...knock on wood.

13,500 km and still like new (except the mods I've done). Never been down. She's aging gracefully, and growing on me.

Bad luck for you! Hope she's not too damaged. Mine is like brane new, thanks to my husband. He cleans the bikes and cars all the time. He uses truck wash and Mr Sheen all the time, plus they are kept in a big shed on our property. Thank goodness I haven't dropped her. It would break my hyeart.

Mine is a 2006 and is perfect...except....when I have to take the inner fairing off those bolt retainers scratch the outer fairing. Hard to describe but if you have one with a fairing you will know what I mean. They are small scratches but they are there. I have tried to remove them but they are there for good. Steve
