Hope I don't regret it lol
I don't think 1" should be drastic enough to make me regret it but we'll see. I didn't think about the pipes being slightly out of line with the swingarm.
That might aggravate me

it's a 50 dollar deposit to decide whether or not you want to lower the bike with shorter shock and drop in springs, don't sweat it.

I have the 1" lowering blocks on mine - check my sig for a picture. the pipes aren't noticibly out of alignment (IMO) but I also did the Progressive drop-in lowering kit for the font. Lowered the front just over an inch as well. I recommend doing this mod at the same time you lower the rear. Its easy and cheap and really improves the ride.

Unless your always hauling fat chicks, lowering bocks work great.

I have been thinking about block's too, now that I got that wide Mustang seat. Is it OK to use a 1" lowering block with stock 12" shocks?
