sounding like i should lower it. should i just lower the rear or both the front and the rear?? and are any of the lowering bolts better than another??
i gat a arlen ness slam kit its ok
(cheap) but progressives look better $$$$
my vote is to drop it in the weeds - i think only doing the back will make it handle differently but i dont have experience to say how, or how much difference.
They are not hard but they try and make it sound as if you can simply stand over your bike and drop some chit in and walla you have a slammed front end...
Not the case.
Your front wheel needs to come off, the caliper needs to come off, the forks need to be slid out of the tree, springs pulled and replaced. Its not a 30 minute job. You dont need to be some patch wearing master wrench to get it done but schedule yourself about 2 hours of wrenchin' time.
I would change the fork oil during this process in my case I like the heavier fork fluids 20 WT as it slows down the front end and makes it feel more planted.
Carefull not to strip out the two axle bolts on the right fork leg and replace the nuts and lock washers whilst you are there.
iso hand grips and if you go check out what is left of the hooker exhaust pipes they are reduced to $200 and they have black ones. http://www.hookerpipes.com/27942-1DHKR.asp
