Default Picked her up yesterday

Happy Valentine's Day to me My guy helped me truck her home last night. I'm excited to see what the season brings with her. Now quick question. They lowered her for me and now that I've got her home, I went to put the spools on her and that's kind of impossible. . . Any suggestions?

Dont understand what you mean that you cant spools on because it's lowered. Only the seat height should have changed - not the height of the swingarm.

Not saying it's because the bike is lowered. The problem is that my muffler is in the way. Just asking what other people with this problem had done until I decide how I want to change the stock.

Can you post pix of the area in question? Exhaust shouldn't be anywhere close to where spools would go.

Swingarm spools will not be in the way of the exhaust. Congrats on the new toy.

ah, I see what you are referring to. Or just go with the standard universal swingarm rear stand. Sometimes a new ride is a real pain to obtain parts and accessories. Good luck.
