is there anything inside to keep it from moving, or does it just look sorta like a H if you look at the top? I just dont know if theres stops built in or not.

Spyderrocs, there are no stops on the blocks, the shape is more like a Y shape. The wide end attaches to the swingarm, and the narrow end slides into the bottom of your shocks. I've never had a issue with the blocks swinging up or forward the pretty much stay where they are,and they have been on my bike for twenty-one tears now.

But if you made a set that was like an "H" instead of a "Y" you could use a set of "eye-to-eye" shocks instead of the harder to find "eye-to-clevis" shocks.....Originally posted by tracy borchert View PostEASY RON...

Are these lowering blocks still available anywhere? I've looked around and didn't find anything for the early bikes.
thanks,
Todd.

I have a set for a 750 but they wont fit my 79 cause the caliper is in the way.Do you have shoes or caliper brake on the back?I could send you a pic if you want to see them.I bought them for 25 bucks from someone on here that said they would fit but they dont.Originally posted by spyderrocs View Postanyone have any pictures of lowering blocks?
