Default If I lower the rear??? Do i ?
So if I drop the end of the bike with slammer shocks, Do I need to lower the front? or can I leave it stock I really like the look of with just the back lower.
Thanks

you can, I did. It does screw up the geometry if the bike. You will probably fell it during hard cornering.

I lowered the back an inch and kept the front stock. It made a very small difference in handling I guess. Not worth the money to lower the front in my opinion. I also like the look of the higher front end.
