I'm going to as soon as I get home from work 8)

As soon as I sat on the seat I smiled. It may not seem like alot but it changes the riding position greatly. My arms or higher up, the seat supports my lower back more, and I can stretch my legs more it seems. I guess just my body posture changed so much.

Thanks guys, I'm thinking over winter If I can gather the balls to do it, I may bob my fender.

I have almost finished grinding enough clearence to ride two up with the lowest setting and the 250 tire.

This is testing an overall weight of 370lbs on the bike me and passenger. Just want people to know this is def possible. With the tire and lowering combination this thing rides AMAZING!!! No way could I ever go back to stock height.

I still need to put some longer cotnrols on my bike. I want at least another inch... I'm 6"4

Be carefull that looks like a Dunlop, and there taller than alot of other tires. Mine is has rubbed behind the duckbill, straight up under the seat on the plastic portion of the fender, and is starting to rub in front of the tire on the back of the battery box! But the worst is on the little tab that hangs down from the fender support beside the bolts, its chewing up my tire!
I'm stiffening mine up to try to stop it,and I'm only at 1"? Oh, it rubs solo.

Your only at 1"

I am at 2 1/4 now with the gridning I made I don't hit the tab what so ever anymore and the tire clears. Riding two up well...it still grinds. I getting to the conclusion you can NOT ride two up on the 2" drop setting. Im debating of either going back up to a Inch or just buying a solo seat :)

Ya, at 1", thats why I was giving you a heads up it would be worse at 2". I rub solo, and have to stiffen it up to get rid of it. 2up it will probably allways rub with a good dip. What suprises me the most is it rubbing in the front? I'll post a pic so you know what I'm talking about.
