I was thinking it looked pretty good with just the back lowered, but slammed bikes also look cool. Lol, sorry no help here.

Lower it. It looks funny when people try to make their Dyna look like an OCC chopper with the lowered rear and long front forks. Do it all or not at all.

Just out of curiosity I have a question. I don't ride 2 up, but I weigh 250lbs. Will the Burley's do a good job for me or will they be bottoming out a lot?
