Has this W650 been lowered?

[email protected]
 

Can anyone list the changes that have been done to this bike?

Has it been lowered? Are the wheels original? What tank is that? Tires? Exhaust?

Yes it’s definitely been lowered. Those shocks in the rear look super short. The exhaust is custom, the rear fender has been bobbed along with the front. The handle bars are also custom, look like mini apes. The seat is custom and so are all of the lights including the smaller bottom mount headlight.?

Looks likes you could get most of the parts from WeBike in Japan. I’ve ordered from them several times with nothing but praise for the quality of parts I’ve ordered.

Thanks. How about the wheels, are they original? The tank?

Can’t see the tank enough to tell. The wheels look to be standard, just wrapped in classic style tyres so would be 110x18” on the rear and 100,19” on the front

Try Dunlop K70s for a classic look. Size would be 4:00-18 and 3:50-19 back and front. They wear well and handle the W650s performance well enough. Not bad on the green lanes either.

Agreed on all counts… reasonably priced, too!


 

Wheels appear to be stock, but the tank looks a bit boxier—maybe an old KZ tank or something aftermarket.

Where can I find the lowering kit?

Do I need to adjust the chain tension if I lower the bike?

 

There are also many shock absorbers that are shorter than stock—remember that you’ll need to find a shorter side stand and/or center stand, or modify a stock one to accommodate your new stance.

Yes. Check your chain tension any time you change anything on the rear end like that. Slipping or snapping a chain generally leads to expensive mayhem.

Be sure to give us the low-down on your modified ride!
