I do recommend some progressive fork springs for your bike but they can be a little tricky to install. I remember I had to fabricate a tool to aid me in the process. Not a good beginner project. take it to a shop.

Chances are i may end up leaving it just like it is and just deal with it. ya' know? just too much trouble to begin with.

My brother did it on his cycle and there was a kit he purchased that made the use of smaller spacers and a different spring. Not sure if there's a kit like that for your bike. -Kyle KK On Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 9:01 AM, Angela Kennedy <[email protected]> wrote: how is the front lowered? it doesn't seem as simple as the rear.

The geometry of the bike should be kept as close to stock as possible. By geometry, I mean the different angles (rake, trail, etc) and how they relate to each other, not necessarily the ride height itself. -Kyle KK On Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 4:54 AM, Angela Kennedy <[email protected]> wrote: Hey folks, I found some 11 inch universal shocks on ebay and thought they would be ideal for my bike. I currently have the 13 inch stocks with lowering blocks now but, I thought that the 11" shocks with the lowering blocks would put me right where I'd like to be. In flat foot territory. But would that be safe? Would it be taking the bike too low? I never plan to ride 2 up or anything. Would I have center of gravity issues? Not sure.
