Default RE: lowering blocks

I bought a set avaiable from J &amp\\; P made by LA Choppers.&nbsp\\; They are solid billet aluminum and do not change the stock angle of the shocks.&nbsp\\; I rode with 10lbs of air in the shocks 2 up (210-me, 145-her) with no rubbing and the stock ride quality.

Default Lowering Blocks

I just bought a set of blocks from Road6 Customs on ebay and they're coming off after one ride! With two up in the 2" lowering position (they have 3positions 1", 2", and 3") the tire scraped constantly!

I've got 6000 miles on the Road6 Customs.......the only problem I found was the tail light assembly bolt protrudes too close to the tire...I just cut off about 3/8"...other than that you just need to keep air in your shocks.

The first thing I checked when I got home, had 19psi in the shocks. I weigh 240 and the wife is about 135 and we bottomed ALOT!

i would suggest a set of 12" shocks from a s/g then check the posts here for an oil change. i went from 5 wt oil to 10 wt pure synthetic and the difference was amazing. no bottoming and a firmer but plush ride

Blocks are crap they bottom out all the time, if you can afford diamond cut cylinders then you should be able to afford as proper set of short shocks.

I've used White Bros for the past 2 years, and have no complaint.

I ran the ones for the road King on e-bay I believe they were white bros they did lower me almost two inches bu they do lower you by moving you back and when you ride 2 up you will bottom out. I ended up going with Arnotts ardel air adjustable shocks.
