I painted the battery cover then I found the battery bag. So it's currently black. And I can send you those shocks for cheap there's a scrape on the inside of the cover that I didn't see because they spun the scrape into the fender. I adjusted the shocks it spun and I saw it.

I absolutely hate chrome. This winter I'm stripping all the chrome parts off the bike and powder coating everything I can.

So when I lower the front it will bring the tire closer to the frame, correct?

It'll ride better once you get some proper tubes, should be able to find some stock take offs from a street or fat Bob on eBay pretty easy. If you want to improve further, when you replace your rears go with 12.6" or 13".
