How hard is it to lower the rear of my bike?

I think it looks fine the way it is. BEST BET and CHEAPEST is what JoeBotics says. Lowering shocks will cost you $150 and up. The good thing about that ebay auction is the brackets allow you to decide how low/high you want your bike. I've been trying to find a bad set of NO2 adjustables....

$98 new and 1 & 1/2" drop & a buddy to lift the asz up while you install 1 side at a time.....

and probably better than stock shocks..........that was on the 1st page of a 2 second search on ebay.

agreed
these work great and easy to install and adjust
Here is a cheaper option that allows you to keep your stock shocks (I actually bought a kit but I haven't installed it yet, it appears solid, good quality):

A custom has what,,,2.69" of suspension travel,,
The factory "Lows" have what,,,,2.12"
Lower needs stiffer springs to work right and corresponding rebound and damping
changes..
It can be done right but just hope your a skilled rider and never go Into a
Corner too hot..
A Hi side crash hurts...
I'd never do It for looks,,,
Raising the tank or a lower seat maybe.
Longer forks,,changes effective rake and will slow turn In,,
Plus It takes weight off the front tire and that equals less front traction,,,
Can you say "Washout"
If your riding style Is mellow and your control Is good I'd go with
proper shorter shocks,,

Hey, I've been considering these for a while now. Do you have any pics with them installed? All the research I've done only comes up with the pics of the mounts themselves. I would like to see them actually mounted on a bike?
Also, how do they ride? Any info would help a brother out.
