Makes sense now. Are you wanting to lift yours back up a bit?
No, I don't have the stock spring (as pictured in page two) in at the moment. When I add it, it will give me another inch drop.

It rides fine as can be expected. I got the *** end as low as I can go with a bare bones seat. I'm sure you know what I'm saying. I put a heavier weight oil in the front forks. I've got some twisties around where I ride, I know my limits and don't scrap too often.

You would be surprised how good it rides Goodies. If you use the race tech innards it glides and is much more controllable.
