Default RE: Lower your bagger

I agree xmeter, I used the same kit and the only thing i have noticed is going out of my driveway, if I dont take it just right my kickstand will drag a little. I am also on the first 1 inch setting and my wife is about 125lbs. We dont bottom out.

Default RE: Lower your bagger

If you lower your bike the right way, nothing changes about the ride. I didn't lower my ride to be cool, though I do think it looks better. I'm just short and wanted to be flat footed but Quackhead is right. The low center of gravity makes low speed handling a breeze.

Default air ride

I have seen those lowering blocks blow shocks because of the angle change, and like many have said bottom out with 2 up.If you are interested I have air ride kits that drop you to about 1/2" above fender or ride stock height down freeway at a touch of a switch for about $500 complete. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...v=rMV1HBapto0h.
