Question Pingel Lowering Blocks

I just picked up an 09 SG and want to lower it about 1" and these look like a good option. Does anyone have experience with these? Is there any risk of damage to the bike?

Just scroll down a little.

you are going to get positive and negative feedback on the lowering blocks. If it were just me read through it all and give them a shot, if they don't work for you, you can always sell them. If your trying to get your feet on the ground better, look into getting a 08 seat, they are a 1/2" narrower and a better seat all around.

I'm assuming the 08 seat will fit the 09?

Thanks
