Never understood that guy bike, chick bike thing. You paid for what YOU wanted not what they though. Just enjoy it and to hell with what "they" say.
Ditto. This guy bike/girl bike thing is pure horseshit. A Harley is a Harley. Period. If someone thinks it's a girl's bike, I'd suggest they should then have no problem lifting it off the ground. That should shut them up.

Or raise their voice a few octaves, if its a "girl" and she CAN lift it. I don't think I'll be asking her out anytime soon. [sm=badidea.gif]
when you lower the front, you might think about switching to chrome lowers at the same time.
The front lowers have to come off anyway, chrome lowers from HD are the least expensive [believe it or not!] about $280? They look great!
