Wow, it's impressive how it tricks your eyes... the shocks seems really shorter and the look improves a lot...

Sounds like that's going to be nice and fun haha. Some exciting news though ... I was outside with my kid just now and a guy that lives half a block away from me ripped by on a savage! I'm going to have to go  and check it out some time, and it sounds pretty gnarly.

My original comparison photos were taken with an old cell phone and I don't seem to have saved them either. I have a side shot of my bike with the lowered fender. It is a substantial difference. I used about a 3/4" spacer and the rear of the fender dropped about 2". I am a big man and I have never bottomed out.


I really want to do this rear fender lowering.  Can you be a bit more detailed on how you did this??
