Get a lowering kit for your forks, your bike will look silly with the tubes sticking up. Your bike do what you want just my 2 cents.

Oh, well thats pretty damn simple! Might do that in a few wkends.

Now that you've helped me I'll help you. A 2x4 is 1 1/2" x 3 1/2". Now you know.
Yeah I knew it was something like 1/4" or 1/2" was right........My buddies a carpenter, so he does all the measuring & I do all the cutting when I help him do side jobs...[8D]

I just went outside and thought the same thing. I like how it sits right now. Maybe could use a little more rake though...

Oh, and SSBogger....I didn't do anything to my front suspension, (kit or sliding the forks). I just threw on the 10"ers and never touched the front tubes.

^^ 100% Agree.
Do it right. Get Progressive's fork lowering kit & drop it the full 2" up front then get some of Progressive's 11 shocks. I slid my forks up the trees, but only about 1/2". I also swapped out my 21" front tire to a 19" to help give it a slightly wider & lower stance.

I think mine sat pretty good with this setup?
