I got chopped springs front and rear about 2" lower than stock (I'm told). The previous owner lowered my bike so I'm not sure of the processes involved other than the obvious cutting of springs.

You live like 10 minutes away...we can swap bikes one day and you'll be able to look into the future. I wouldnt mind knowing how the stock bike handles actually...haha



Tom's bike rides OK except no suspension travel. almost like riding a hardtail. When lowering biggest problem I had was the exhaust dragging the ground. I lowered Wendy's bike 2" with shorter shocks and had to bend the Freak bracket so the chain didn't hit it and cut the front of the chain guard so that didn't hit the frame but kept full suspension travel. Then when it came time for a new tire the stock tire was too big it just rubbed enough to feel like the brake was on when up to speed. I have to look at what size I used, I did the math and think I used a tire with 1/2" lower side wall but had to go slightly narrower since no one made one the same width with the right profile.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
