I say go for it all while you have it tore down!
Nice bike Dustmaker; I agree might as well go for it while you have it tore down. I was just going to lower mine and while I had it at the shop I ended up doing alot more.

Your bike looks great now, but black is always sick.

Ok, here is today's update.....Got the Shotgun Shocks installed, as well as the rear fender. Only thing left to do is button up a few loose ends. Sorry that the pics are terrible, but they're from my crackberry, and it was apparently fogging up last night.
