Seriously, I HAVE to lower the front end?

I hear ya, I fell in love with that air cleaner early on, before I started going for the socal look. It cost a pretty penny too. I hate to change it up so soon, but its gonna go for sure.

How about having story808 personalize a cam or derby cover with something thats important to you. Thats where I would be headed with that bike.
Nice, good thinking. I like it.. thx bro.

Don't need to but it will ride a little better and won't look like you tail dragging.

I don't plan on lowering mine, gonna see how it handles first

I guess I'll be with you on that one. I'll have to take it for a few rides before I decide if I am going to lower the front or not. I am putting the shotgun shock on when the wheels come in....

alright, your the guinea pig then. get back to me on the ride with the 21 and no lowering. I kinda like the tail dragger look, so that doesnt bother me, but I am a little concerned about the ride. Keep me posted bro. Just to let you know too, Im pretty sure me and a few buds are heading up to Laconia this year.

Should be able to get them from the stealer I had the numbers when i was searching for part numbers on the brackets.... but I've seemed to have lost them I'll see what I can dig up for you.
Edit: Found the part number 33698-07

If your running the shotgun and cholos with the 21 your pipes will drag real bad. My longshots hung low. It will really wake you up when you catch a pipe in a corner and cant make the turn because of it. Been there. The 21 will raise the front about 1.5" from stock.I dropped my front 2" and it looks and rides way better. IMO
