Hey guys,I really don't ride in the dirt much anymore,not too many places to go. I find myself wanting to turn my 2003 DRZ250 into a street tracker. I plan on doing all the work myself and as cheaply as possible. But, I do have a few questions as to how do I lower my front end,CHEAPLY? I've googled my butt off trying to find a thread,with pictures,on how to cut down the springs and add a spacer in the fork to lower it,but my google-foo isn't very strong today. For the rear shock,I'm just gonna cut the spring until I have the right stance that I want. I plan one using many of the stock parts on the bike to save on the price,so if anyonr could point me I the right direction as too cutting the fork springs with a link on thread on this site,I would really appreciate it! :banghead:

You're trying to mix two words that won't. Custom isn't cheap

If you want to lower it, I will trade you a wore out DR350 shock and you can do what you want to it.

Yeah ,I know! I've bobbed and chopped a few bikes that I've had in the past,so fab work really isn't my concern. It's just that I've never messed with lowering forks before. Just asking around to see if anyone has done it before,maybe get some tips.
