I'm good with it the way it is. I don't want to put any more $ into it other than regular maintenance. I am trying to save up my $ and pay cash for a bagger.

hammer that is really slammed. ever drag the pipe??
hate to burst your bubble, but I just did that install and it's not that easy. You will have to take your forks apart some. The fork cap does not give you access to the springs on the NT. You'll have to take either the top tree off or slide your forks down to access the springs..... I did not know this either until I bought the kit, but it wasn't so bad. I ended up putting chrome lowers on mine at the same time, so I tore the whole front end completely down.

I don't agree that you have to lower front and rear. Just like with everything else it is personel opinion
I concur!

Yep, it is a personal opinion. Some people like to do a fast easy incomplete mod. job, so people are more thorough and take into account all the details. I personally like to do things that make sense. And that includes making sure the front and rear of the bike maintain the same ride height and geometry. Not really into the "Mexican flavored" rear drop look myself, LOL. If your going to "slam" the rear, when not do the front too? Why "half @ss" it? LOL!

The longer you own it the better it looks in your Sig pic. If its the one you grab to run to the store or do an errand on than you made the wise choice.

Since this is a lowering thread.....Hows about PM'ming me cuz' I'll buy that danged Air Ride off your Old Train!!
