This is not an insult. Really dig your bike. But wouldn't a SS be worth almost as much as the rest of your ride?

Just seems contrary to the rat concept, is all, IMHO. And that's one really cool looking rat.

I do not think he was kidding, he just didn't look at your bike for more than 2 seconds or he would have seen all the customization you have done.


Anyways - nice bike. You just need to lower it. Even if you just use lowering bolts in the rear and set shocks how you like them and maybe a 2" drop in progressive kit up front

422 is good and a set of Pirellie Night Dragon will make a night and day difference in handling.

It looks like the bike is set up with cornering clearance in mind, and he wants to improve the handling (which to most people means turning), so lowering would probably be going in the wrong direction.

I'm not telling him to slam his bike I was talking 1.5- 2"

I did the 422s for half a season and then took them off and did the SS. Save yourself some coin in the long run and do the SS. It's worth riding the hooker for another season while you save for the SS.
