Hi all. I am interested in building a bobber from my new 06 speedmaster. I've noticed many with with lowered rear suspension (either block or spring). I'm wondering how I would go about this and if anyone out there would know where in Australia the parts can be purchased. I live in Far North Queensland (Cairns) so anywhere in Queensland would be appreciated.

Did you lowre the front too Doobie or can you just put the rear lower without a handling issue?

The easiest way to lower the front is to loosen the triple tree and clamps raise the fork tubes up slightly, then tighten the clamps again. Just be aware that this may reduce the forks' total travel available to you.

Havent noticed any ill handling with rear lowered but have got ikon shocks fitted no change to front. Ihave shortened rear guard as standard one looked a little strange once lowering blocks were fitted DOOBIE

Progressive springs are only 80 a pair. They help handling, and you can get the lowering ones.
