Be careful! Jaymo54 has some pix of his lowered bike in his gallery too. A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice. Pat

I installed the Hagon 1" shorter shocks,a 15"x5.5" custom spoked wheel and a low profile Dunlop 190 rear tire. It handles like a dream through the turns and I feel the road like I am part of it and not like I'm riding on a cushion. Total drop is around 2-3 inches. http://www.bonnevilleamerica.com/photopo...=500&page=1
