Lowering Bike
Thinking of slammin my Street Bob. Have heard some people just slide their fork tubes up in their triple trees. What are the cons of doing this, I'm sure there's some....

Other than making your fork boots look all squished......none that I can think of...been riding with my fork tubes pulled up 1 inch on my 09 St Bob for 3 months now with no problems to speak of. Im fat and I ride on shitty Jersey roads...so if there was gonna be an issue.....I would have had it by now....

I dunno;it seems kind of a cheap,chintzy way to do things. If you're gonna slam it, do it RIGHT,'cause it'll just look like you took the cheap way out. Kind of like that Hair-In-A-Can
that balding men use to cover their ever expanding pate. Or like guys in Vettes & Camaros who put a hundred bricks in the back to get it lower.

Lowering blocks in the rear and slide the forks up the trees. Just be smart about it and you'll be fine.
I put ultra air shocks in the rear with lowering blocks and slide the tubes up about a 1ź" up the trees. Not even close to hitting the fender.
