Title: THE LOW DOWN..
Post by skeebo on 06/17/11 at 11:30:52

Hey all, I finished lowering my forks last night. Ive been wanting to do this for weeks, I luv it, Looks and rides great. It also gave me the chance to paint the lowers and trees, also replace the leaking seals and the old fork oil looked like choclate puddin......Ha

I dig this site and a big shout out to all who take time to pass on tips,tricks and learned that the hard way........Thanks.http://a3.l3-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/137/98f1d64bcdb54fe7a4735a3d5af37f93/m.jpghttp://a1.l3-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/132/9076b2f5502141d9a185d0fb87223c07/m.jpghttp://a2.l3-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/135/596984ec6e22434788ca74889973b1eb/m.jpg

Yep, looks good if I squint and tilt my head just right! ;)

Oh, if you hit enter between each picture link, they will post down the page instead of across. Use the "preview" button (just below the box you are typing in when you compose your post) to check it out before you actually post it. That's how I find my typos!

Thanks RpN.... I was surprised how well they work, they vibrate less than when they were in the stock perches.

What kind of front tire is that? The tread pattern gives a sick old school look to the whole package
