I´m new to this forum and also new to Bandit 1250 ownership. I´ve only had it for two days and I love it. I´ve been riding for 30 years, all Japanese, mostly standards. My 52 year old frame is not too comfortable on the sport bikes and the only problem with the Bandit for me is the seat height. My inseam is barely 30 inches and the seat height is 31 inches. I´ve learned to cope with high seat heights before but I do like firmer footing at a stop light. Does anyone have any experience with lowering links? My main concern is changing the suspension/steering geometry and ruining the handling. I´d rather stretch my legs than mess up the handling. Thanks. Bruce
