Does anyone have 970's with lowering blocks.
If so can you post up a picture.
I am thinking of getting 970 with 1" lowering blocks.
Opinions welcome.

Thumbs down

Mounting 970s with lowering blocks, totally defeats the purpose of having 970s....you'd be much better off just buying a set of shorter shocks. If you want to stick with Progressive, the 430 series are nice and dont require a tool to change the preload. If you want a set of shorter piggyback style shocks, take a look at Works http://www.worksperformance.com/html/home.html
The lowering blocks change the angle of the shocks and make them much softer, even at max preload. I had them on my bike before I bought shorter shocks caused the brake bleeder to hit the fender, and bend it....the belt guard hit the fender and caused damage.....they just arent a good idea.
