Only some slight rain here today. Overall, a nice day for a ride.

I have some new parts to go on after Christmas. Nothing big but some small stuff to finish up with. Leather works 312XL Solo bag, Harley black face Speedo/Tach, Harley black diamond fuel cap set and a 1 1/2' lowering kit. I have been getting the wife's new bike set up for her. She is getting impatient waiting for warmer weather. Here is some pics of her little 2008 883L Chrome *****.

What's good with everyone on here? I almost never get on anymore. I feel like I've been out the game forever and forget what are some options for lowering my bike from expensive to cheaper? For as little as I ride I guess expensive isn't best IMO.

expensive..air ride (naturally).. cheapest.. $20 bolt.. replace the stock bolt from your shocks with a shorter one, instant ride height change.. though it'll affect ride quality too. inbetween.. idk.. 422's?
lowering the front.. change the fork springs to something shorter or firmer.. progressive makes a drop in kit, so does RaceTech.. idk anything about either though. I just put in a set of 422's a few days ago, supposedly (according to the documentation), i have them on the lowest setting, but the rear end doesn't look like it's sitting any lower.. idk whats wrong with that though

You could just repost the pics from last winter as she was pretty well in bits and pieces then. What are you having PC'd this year. I thought you had most of it covered last winter?

haha i could..i'm not going that crazy though. I'm having the clutch housing cover done, the front wheel spacers, some pieces off of my windshield, my brake pedal, the shift linkage, the shifter lever, and a new (new to me) exhaust i'm putting on there.
