It might be more tense and rigid compared to the Low and Mean shock, which is explained in another thread by no_fury, he described that it might blow out the shock because of the extra tension on it. Cars you can afford to blow out a shock and you'll be fine, a bike... wouldn't want to take a chance.
How about the good old low-rider blow torch trick. Heat it up to take some of the spring out of it.
Hmmm, yea... that would probably work, wouldn't do it with your particular ride though and the adjustment that you made, as it would probably bottom out on the fender, but that would be another option... I still wouldn't risk it with a motorcycle, but some might take that chance.
I himmed and hawed about doing Suspension Mods. I figured that I have dragged my pegs and even my pipes enough times that this was not the rout I would like to take. Im not saying it’s a bad thing… I'm just saying its not the right one for me. But in saying that personally (I'm cheep) if I wanted this I would first try the blow torch thing and if it failed then buy the L&M spring. Every mod thus far I have had a plan B. Like my fender mod for instance. My plan B was the Somo kit. I think it is a very reasonably price kit for what you get. But lets face it. That kit is for looks. And I don't think it looks 3G better than my MOD. But I also did it myself and it cost me $0.00.
Tony, I like your mod and would like to see it with the lowering spring as well because eventually I want to see someone come out with a bobbed fender. In order for a bobbed fender to look right, it needs to be as close to the tire as possible.
only lowered my bike 3/4 of an inch and that is with the setting all the way low
Wow! that is a relief! i went to search the videos and gasped LOL... u r great Bill thank you so much!!!! what a great deal.
