Lucky you, the shafties don't like adjusting the rear end via shocks very much at all. :p
Lowering the rear end alone might make it look better, but it will also negatively affect the handling. You would be effectively increasing the fork angle, which would tend to move the handling further toward the "cruiser" end of the spectrum. A compensating lowering of the front end (and it won't be as simple as just shortening the forks by the same amount as the rear shocks!) would bring the handling back in line, but remove the aesthetic element of lowering the back end. -Kurt On Wed, Jul 24, 2013 at 4:17 PM, Dalton Peel <[email protected]> wrote: > Chain drive.
