Default how to lower my ride
been looking to lower my 09 rk about 1- 1.5 inches. is it easier/cheaper to get a lowering kit and stick with stock air shocks or just get new shocks. i have been looking at these v factor heavy duty airshocks, reviews seemed good and lower the bike an inch for a good price. just trying to get more opinions and reviews before i make the decision.

You could send them to bitchin bagger and have them shorten them. They do from 1"to 3" and use your stock shocks and the ride is not to bad. They say they wont bottom out and tear up any wires either
