#112896 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am.. Moderator Posts: 9221 Re:low roadie 3 Years, 9 Months ago   Lakecharles wrote: This is interesting to me and I am considering lowering my Roadie; two questions: 1) does it affect two-up riding from a handling standpoint ( i.e. bottoming out)? 2) does it make it harder to get the motorcycle jack under the bike? I have just barely enough room to get the jack uder the frame now, and I would think that lowering would make it impossible. I have the jack that comes from Harbor Freight or Sears and is hydralic pump up two rubber rails etc.. thanks for any imput LC, I am lowered and I like it..I ride solo so no problems with hitting the limit on suspension, I like the change in handling, it feels more stable and responsive. You will probably drag the floorboards, but their on hinges so. The jack won't fit unless you first roll the back wheel up on a chunk of 2x6..   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #112901 RoadieFF (Moderator) Moderator Posts: 2594 Re:low roadie 3 Years, 9 Months ago   Flashback wrote: The jack won't fit unless you first roll the back wheel up on a chunk of 2x6..

Just how much exactly is a "chunk" of 2X6? well I bought an 8ft piece of pt for about 5 bucks to replace a 6ft piece in my deck, had about 2ft left, which I use for the bike.. I'm not good at math, so you figure it out...   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #113030 laslet (User) Can we go now?
