RE: Lowered Lowrider
I have a 99 low rider with the same paint scheme you to guys do, great bike. I have the 11" progressive shocks on it and ride 2 up a lot. After 20 years, my wife is a lot bigger than 115, lets just say she is a little fluffy at 47. I am 195 myself. I have the shocks set on 4 (5 is too stiff). If we hit a REALLY big pothole or a really rough RR track, we will bottom out a little, but we really have to hit hard.
The progressives are awesome.

Yes I am comfortable, but the only thing is that the center part of the handlebar blocks my view a little bit of my indicator lights as I have relocated them to my headlight bezel. I am just the right height that I have to move my head up or down to look past it and see the top of my headlight. I have a Lepera Bare Bones seat on its way... should be here today or tomorrow actually, and hoping that it will sit me just low enough that I can look below the bar, through my risers and see them without shifting my position.

I remember when you did this mod. \\;\\\\\\; I thought it was one of best here yet. You did a great job.I just sent you a PM about throwing a LePera seat on it, but I didn't see this particular comment from you about waiting for it to come in. It'll clean up the lines around the tank/fender nicely I'm sure.
