Torsion bar bolt

Dumb question but never worked with torsion bars before. I want to lower my 62 and wanted to make sure If these were the right bolts to loosen? Thanks

Re: Torsion bar bolt

yes,those are the correct bolts,on mine the square upper nuts turn also so you will have to put a wrench on them so they don't turn otherwise it wont change your height.when i bring mine up close to stock height the upper square nuts don't turn but when the pressure starts to come off mine do turn.

good luck!

I rode the LOLO Motorway a couple of years ago on my 625 KTM dirt/street bike, it was really a neat ride. Hard to believe Lewis and Clark went over it in the 1800's....Really pretty country. Kieth

Re: Torsion bar bolt

Is 4" to much to lower with torsion bars? How many inches is safe? Or how much did you guys lower the frontend? Thanks
