Default Lowered SG 2010 w/ Progressive 10-2003

Hey Everyone,

I lowered my SG and put SE Heavy fork oil in. Because this kit can lower the front up to 2" I added a .5" spacer. Now she looks right, almost level. Test ride was great. No nose dives under braking, more stable in the corners.

When I measured the front of the frame compared to the rear it was about an 1/8" lower in the front.

Should I raise the front a little to make it higher than the rear, because everything I read says the front should be higher? I don't know why?

If I don't what will happen?

Everyone's input is appreciated. Thanks.

1/8" shouldn't make a difference, you want the front higher for better cornering, if you ride it and you are happy with the ride and cornering I'd leave it

Thanks for the reply. The way you hear some people talk I thought perhaps one day, just riding along, the bike would wreck you going into a corner or something.

Thanks again.
