it is a tough call. I think it would look alot better. Thats why I was really close to the airride. I'll pick it up a bit when I'm riding two up and I'll drop it when im out by myself.

+1 for that.... you can't beat lowering a bike. Especially just an 1" or 1-1/2".... I cant really notice too much of a ride difference until I get to 2" under stock.

Mine is only lowered about an 1-1/2" right now, and my girls FXSTC is lowered about 2".... I am adjusting mine this weekend to 2". Here is mine at 1-1/2". I will grab some of Nic's when It is all done with its make-over.

I never tire of looking at this beauty. I shouldn't have sold her, but I did. Can't change that. There will be another! I ran across a CD today from a little gathering of Heritage Springer owners back in '07. I'd forgotten this "pose"...

This is what she looked like when I bought her. Only had 1,900 miles on her, but I had a vision. I rode her home from Denver to Vegas and already had most of the parts layed out on the garage floor, waiting.



During the rebuild



And the "after"
