I just got done installing a set of progressive 422s. I am not sure exactly how much I lowered it, but I'm guessing around 1 inch. I never measured before I began. It was fairly easy to get this done. I messed with the preload several times. I started with 2 turns from full soft, then I did another 1/2 a turn and then went back 1/4 turn. I think this will be the best setup for me at 195lbs.

Here are a few pics. Excuse the dirty bike.

looks good like that, how do she handle?

 

Nice breakout dude!

 

Nice Breakout
Big improvement with it lowered, good job

 

Looks nice. The Breakout definitely needs to be lowered.

 

Thanks everyone! I have only ridden it once after lowering it. From what I can tell she handles good. And I agree, this bike needs to be lowered for it to look really good!!

 

If your happy that's all that matters.

 

Nicely done. What was the bill on that mod, $400ish?

 

Thanks! I got them on ebay for about 368 with free shipping.

 

I'd give my left nad for a Breakout! Great looking bike.
