Looking for info On reversing a lowered 2013 F800GS

106g

New member
Just bought professionally lowered F800GS 17k miles (not factory lowered) Has anybody completed something like this. Ive looked at new shocks, they are expensive!

- Shock has internally installed spacer, so was a complete rebuild.
- Spacers were put in forks, and stock springs left in, so I can do that.
- But reversing center stand & side stands that were cut, welded, etc to work well with lowered bike would be difficult.

Thanks, that is interesting.
Now, I just need to find someone who is wanting to lower a F800GS & I can swap parts with them, to raise my bike back up to stock.

From memory-
It was a different rear spring and a new spring in each of the fork legs that were “progressive”.
You may want to check with Ted Porters BeemerShop or EPM performance. Both usually advertised in the ON magazine.

Thanks, but I would still have to deal with the center & side stands..

I shortened both of mine as a necessity. If they lowered one they could have the original stands as well. :dunno
