Re: LOWERING MY 2000 GZ250

Re: LOWERING MY 2000 GZ250

Re: LOWERING MY 2000 GZ250

I have taken bits of advice from several of the riders on this site and I am very pleased with the results. I took my tape measure to bike shops and found that the Kowasaki 125 had the same type of...

Re: LOWERING MY 2000 GZ250
