Default Lowering

Hey all. I want to lower the rear end of my bike. I mean I want the tail closer to the rear tire. I've already lowered, or taken as much tension, off the spring/shock as possible, but wnt it lower now. WHY? Stand it up easier, don't mash my nuts into the tank as much, and just to have a different look. So if anyone knows how to accomplish this task i would greatly appreciate the advise.

I have a dog bone on my bike, it's lowered an inch. My guy friend love when they get on my bike because like you said, my bike is not a nut cracker.

You can find one anywhere. Unless you can find it cheaper, JC Whitney has then pretty cheap.

one thing about lowering the bike is that you will not be able to role it into the turns a much as you would with stock hight.. yo will be scraping the foot pegs a lot

that is true. especially if you are used to the stock height. and lowering it too much is definetly not good for the bike. (bad ride).
