The new “generation” of bikers is not shrinking… Well the new generation is maybe getting a bit older however the biggest problem is that many motorcycles have simply grown taller!! Maybe you notice the difference every time you try to put your leg over the seat. It’s not going to be easier and this does not necessarily mean that your legs are less flexible.

The motorcycles seating height have been increased over the last 25 years – admittedly in small steps, but the result is obvious.

In 1985 the average seating height of an average bike was 750-800 mm. Today it is more likely to measure 800-850 mm! This firstly is the result of the modern “underseat exhaust system” and secondly because modern sportive bikes are built for greater banking and lean angle capacity more seasoned bikers might not even be interested in… In addition the improved ergonomics lately lead to a higher seating position!

Those are all good reasons but useless if you cannot get your leg over the bike. Therefore we do offer different lowering possibilities – with some motorcycles for up to 100 mm. This is admittedly a lot but as a matter of fact we already have had clients that were very happy after the lowering of their motorcycle! Finally they were able to really ride their “dream-motorcycle”. With a lowering solution for a BMW R 1200 GS of 85 mm for example a rider that is 1.60 m tall completely gets rid of the “traffic-light-syndrome”!

What is that traffic-light-syndrome? A motorcyclist suffering from this syndrome makes a lot of detours to reach his destination. Main thing – there are as few as possible stoplights on the route where he might have to halt!

We do offer different lowering solutions:
The extremely inexpensive but limited comes from Promoto: The lowering is achieved with the help of the linkage of the shock. A different link or modified shock absorber mountings realizes a special amount of lowering!

Better and safer is of course the Wilbers solution: A lowering of up to 100 mm is reached by using custom built suspension units front and rear.

A well-thought-out lowering is convenient because smaller as well as more sedate bikers regain total control of their motorcycles in any given situation!

Just give us a call or send an email at info@wilbers.de. We’re ready to inform you about the options for your bike so that you as well might find a secure stand with both feet on the ground.

Take a look at the following examples – you bike can surely be lowered as well!!!

Example loweringskit for the
Honda Transalp: 50 mm lowered!!!

With this complete offer for professional lowering we respond to the needs of many of our customers who would like to decrease the riding height of their motorcycle to increase driving fun, stability and security while motorcycling.

To maintain a balanced vehicle geometry the lowering of 50 mm has to be done using either shock type 640 or 641 with the respective fork springs and cartridge lowering valves. The lowering of the front is achieved by shortening length and stroke of the fork with the help of lowering valves.

Kawasaki Versys 650: 50 mm tiefer!!!

With this complete offer for professional lowering we respond to the needs of many of our customers who would like to decrease the riding height of their motorcycle to increase driving fun, stability and security while motorcycling.

To remain the geometry of the suspension the lowering of 50 mm is achieved only with the help of the shock type 540 and the corresponding fork springs including bushings. Here, the length of the forks’ stroke is reduced by inserting the bushings.
