    Showa Race Shock?

    Does anyone know if the EBR showa race shock is height adjustable to lower from stock height as well as raising?

    Thanks in advance

    It's adjustable, but I don't know what the range of it is compared to the stock shock.

    Yes I know...just trying to figure out if I can lower the bike as well as raising before I pull the trigger. Thx

    Why would you want to lower the bike? Most of the time, and really the 1190 is close out-of-the-box, one adds a bit of ride height in the rear for mechanical grip, and some ride height in the front so it will finish a turn a little better.

    It's street ridden and my inseam is 29-30 so it's difficult to be comfortable when stationary

    Personally I still wouldn't do it.

    The stock pegs are really wide on the 1190 and you are going to drag easily, the handling will be hard to really get right with a lowered set up and you are going to run into belly pan clearance issues over speed bumps and other street hazards.
