is it really that big of difference? is it so more comfortable that would you recommend it for someone who just trail rides?

I've read a little about this before on KFXcentral. We're setting up a KFX for TT, so more traction and a lower center of gravity are good for us

Please post up some pics and details of the process.

heres a side angle the seat does go on a little funny but it stays on just as good as stock height subframe

what about the pipe and intake fitment with this mod ?

thats a great idea , i always thought the Kfx looked tall so this is a good way to lower it.

the pipe and the intake still fit but it is a little harder to do it

I as well as Prey2none lowered ours but only cut out 5/16" from the subframe. For XC racing.

we cut out an inch anf the cross member that goes across hits the rear shock i think im going to bring it back and put 1/4" back in so the shock will mot rub on the subframe
