What is the purpose of struts?
If you want to run in the Stampede, no rubber mounts, no windshields, only hardtail or strutted bikes.
Precious little on the internet of this race. But if you read The Horse mag, all the details are there.

I gota admit the 2dn is a bad lookin scoot. But the 1st one has me confused. If the purpose of struts is to slam the fender, why did this guy leave his in the stock position?

You know probably the biggest problem with customizing a bike is what to do with the seat, swing-arm, rear fender/hardtail area. It's difficult to make anything really look good that has a suspension. I agree with the slammed fender look and probably the only way you'll get this is with a hard tail. You could mount the fender to the swing-arm and use a solo seat but most likely you're going to have at least a 4" gap if you plan on using shocks.
Fortunately this look is becoming popular with shocks and a swing arm.
Fortunately this look is becoming popular with shocks and a swing arm.That has air ride so it doesn't look like that while riding. Don't think its becoming popular with swingarm/shocks or the tire will hit the fender with it slammed down.
