Looks nice. It's hard for me to tell from the pic, but is there a
lowering block on the rear shock mount ?

thanks,

T.

Yes it does. It lowers the back about 1 inch. People are always saying how bad the stock sporties ride and lowering it like that will make them ride worse. I have never noticed that my bike rides rough. I have ridden it from BC Canada to Sturgis a few times (2 1/2 days each way) and numerous trips of over 500 miles a day with no discomfort at all. ButI am only 75 years old so I can still ride long trips. I guess once I actually get old (maybe 10 years from now) I will notice the rough ride but I am good for now LOL
