Hi from the new guy
Hi everyone, this is my first post after buying my bike. This past Saturday I bought a custom 97 1200. I'm stoked. It is really nice. I'll try and post a photo. Any way I am interested in lowering the front and rear. It has progressive rear shocks that are a little shorter than stock, I think. I talked the guy who owned it before the guy I bought it from. He had tried to put a lowering bracket kit on the back and the it caused the tire to rub. I hope to be able to get it down some because I have short legs and it is a little high for me. Any help would be appreciated.

RE: Hi from the new guy
My 2 cents.
Mid foot controls help shorter people..
Is that a custom ?
Lower it all you want , BUMPS , get ready for them ...
