That's not slammed in my opinion...THIS is slammed.

Hammer107, that's slammed. Looks good. Got me thinking about dropping mine some more.

Son new NT was lowered 1" at dealer prior to deliviery and after done its really about 1 1/2 just about what U said...

be careful as I have read if U go much more on rear only, it has on other & could really mess up the handling of Ur bike....

People shouldnt just lower the rear anyway on its own, when you lower the bike want to do both the front and rear at the same time regardless of what route you want to go to get the job done. Progressive makes a decent cheap lowered spring kit for the front FX shocks for under $100............

I agree with this guy on this. Bikes do look funny with just the rear dropped. They look uneven and raked more up front. Lowering the front is cheap to do. Purchased my progressive kit from e-bay for around $80.00

I don't agree that you have to lower front and rear. Just like with everything else it is personel opinion. If I was short and had issues touching flat footed I might lower the front but that is not an issue. My bike looks and rides awesome as it sits. Thanks for your opinion though.

I did both ft and rear, IMO it looks better, handles better too. Whichever way you go getting rid of the dirtbike look is good.

Slam it. You know you want to, you're just pretending to not want to because someone said your bike looked funny.
