guess you missed the point i was trying to make,,

of course you two were leisurely just rolling along

was speaking more of the capabilities of the two bikes

the friends that i roll with aren't that accommodating

they'd pull away from me in the twisties while i was grinding away,, pull over & wait & laugh & point ( i'd do it too )

not anymore

I gotcha now. Everyone I usually ride with anyways has sport bikes so getting left behind always happens to me. Of course I think I came out with the better picture at the Tail of the Dragon... I got sparks shooting out from under my bike and my dads face is cut of because of his fairing

Im gonna be screwed if I lower my bike any more.

My stock floorboards are definitely not adjustable.

I don't have a stock seat_ its a solo seat and it digs into my thighs a bit, raising my feet would help.

Yeah I didnt notice any spot to raise my floorboards. As for lowering my bike I dont want to lower it so much so that its slammed down or anything I just want to pull the fender a little closer to the seat. I didnt think about speed bumps or the driveway but I never really felt too close to bottoming out I think its just the boards stick out decently far and are fairly large boards. I guess ill find out with the speed bumps on base someday. Glad I got 4" springs under my ***



Edit actually there are 3" springs installed in the picture but they hit the mounting rods too much. 4" ones can hold a lot more weight. Also you can see where my RS board is scraping and the mount even
