I've searched the forums and consulted Mr Google but cannot find a basic 'how to' on lowering front (standard) forks on the storm.
I just added a 6mm spacer to the rear and several people also suggest lowering the forks. Thoughts? How-to?
Cheers!

A nice piece of timber and a jack under the sump. Take the weight of the bike and then undo your triple clamps and bars. Then either lower the the jack until happy. 5mm is the norm

Sounds pretty straight forward, thanks guys. If only it would stop raining in Melbourne...
