Lowered Train(MORE)
I recently lowered my 07 Nightrain with the Arlen Ness pin/bolt system a full two inches. I love the look of having just the rear of my bike lowered but until I put on my Heartland fender kit now I am not as happy. Getting to the point I am wondering if I can lower it more than two inches with the current bolt system or do I need a whole new shock or system to achieve the level of say 2.5 inches???

So I bought some progressives form George (Thanks man still going strong!) Tfey got me down but, that wasn't enough so...I ground the rubber bushing and a small amount of the steel cup washer down. Whalla! 3" drop. Been almost 10k since I did it and it still rides fine. Getto but it works.
