May change your mind once you see how much that tires been rubbing the inside of the fender, seen several the paint burnt & bubbled from slammed that low. It'd never survive the twisties out here.

 

Speaking of lowering, every time that I sit on my Springer, it gets lowered. Haven't had any problems yet

 

i slammed my softail down and love it

 

Mine rides like a Caddy with my air ride. If I want to hit some curved roads I add air and bring it back to stock-ish height.

I'm 6’2”, and don’t see an issue with having a lowered bike at all. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

 

Lowered but not slammed on both of my bikes.

 

I really like these threads that unite everyone … good stuff. About 25% of the lowered bikes I work on have damage somewhere because of how they were lowered. Either belt wasn't adjusted after the lowering, or the sub wiring harness in the rear fender was damaged from the rear tire rubbing on it, or bolts rubbing on sprockets or rotors, the list goes on. ANYTIME you modify your bike from how the manufacturer intended you better know what you're doing.

It's amazing what we see come through the shop. Couple months back someone brought in Dyna with an electrical issue. I took apart their control housings on the left and right side of the handlebars and found the wiring cut, twisted and secured with electrical tape. Pulled the wiring from the bars and found more inside the bars. It was their attempt to install bars and save some cash. They wanted to save money and not have their bars professionally installed, needless to say … the repair negated their cost savings. Of course when you ask the customer who did the install it's always blamed on another shop but they can't remember the name or it was a buddy. Anyway, I digress. I've lowered many bikes per the customers request and too often I have to write on the repair order that the bike is no longer safe to ride.

 

When I am looking at a bike for sale, and the owner is going on about how it has been lowered and he tells me how much he paid for new shocks, air struts, and how well it handles etc...I ask him one question. "You still got the original shocks?"

 

It's their bike they can do whatever they want with it. This thread is stupid.

Get Off My Lawn!!!

 

Does lowering the front after installing a 21 count at lowered?

 

uh, public forum isn’t your lawn. Don’t like what you’re reading. Move on.
