Default Lowering block ride

Well it was nice enough today I got out for a ride. I just installed the TM lowering blocks last week. I really couldn't tell the difference in the ride from stock to lower. I even took my GF with me. We put 70 miles on it and no complaints from either of us about the ride. I would have done the shocks but I only wanted to lower the bike an inch since she will be riding with me. Also money is tight and to get an inch the Progressive shocks would have been around $400.

Oh yea I'm 41 so I ain't no spring chicken LOL
