#141907 eblack (User) Don't force things, just use a bigger hammer Expert Boarder Posts: 432 Re:Quick question about bike lowering . . . 3 Years, 6 Months ago   Check out cycleimage.com they sell very nice adjustable bogbones or a rigid insert if you perfer. An option of 0" or 2" is a big difference and if you lower it too much the swing arm tilts up at a much different angle and changes its relationship with the frame and doesn't look right; but thats just my opinion. I chose to lower the fender.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #141921 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 12511 Re:Quick question about bike lowering . . . 3 Years, 6 Months ago   I lowered mine with the Barons kit and it is shown that way in my sig pic. I liked the look and it handled OK but even with the progressive spring the way I like to take corners the pipes, floor boards and the frame were always dragging. That I didn't like so I remove the lowering kit and sold it but kept the progressive sring on it. I ride two up and love to lay her over in the corners so stock the way I will stay.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #141924 BlackIceRoady (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 15 Re:Quick question about bike lowering . . . 3 Years, 6 Months ago   Yo Dude above thats what I call my bike to.   Logged     My Black Ice Roady   The administrator has disabled public write access. #141925 silvasilv (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1007 Re:Quick question about bike lowering . . . 3 Years, 6 Months ago   I was thinking good and hard about an air ride, and after weighing all the options, the street boutique customs one was the one i intended to get...others have the tricky or barons air cylinder I am pretty sure tampa is running the air cylinder so he can give you the low down on that...another member droptopcaddy was making his own air ride similar to street boutique, if you can weld he can send you the parts   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #141926 HoustonCH73 (User) she's gone............

Moderator Posts: 12511 Re:Quick question about bike lowering . . . 3 Years, 6 Months ago   I got her name stiched on her seat click on the little world on this post and you can check out the pictures. Named her that because of the black and chrome and that is what I busted my butt on when I first started riding in the Air Force when I was in England. At night the fog would freeze and turn into Black Ice. Can't count the times I ended up on my back looking at the sky.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #142027 LokoTripper (User) No officer it's street legal . . .

Rides beaut now..1 up and 2 up. I would have done the flip and grind rather than the Baron kit, but didn't research enough...would have saved myself some $$$. If you do the 'flip and grind' you will find that beefing up the suspension or fitting progressive suspension will also be necessary. Good luck with this mate   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #142056 Papa Bear (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 237 Re:Quick question about bike lowering . . . 3 Years, 6 Months ago   Depending on why you are looking to lower, I can get your seat at least 1" lower and still make your ride more comfortable.
