    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I want to lower the bike and was checking out all options including shorter shocks, lowering blocks, and shortening the stock shocks.

Sure, you can just install smaller/shorter shocks.

I do not advocate cutting coils on any shock.

I wouldn't cut the coils. i'd heat it tiil it dropped.
 
blocks

blocks

Lowering blocks were my choice only because you can remove them if you want. They are very easy to take off, so you can reverse the mod without any permanent damage to the rear suspension.
 
I'm worried about clearence issues with the blocks and the rear disc set up

I don't know if you would have any issues, I wouldn't think so. Can you post some pics? Here's what mine looks like.:?

I didn't buy them yet, but I looked at your pics before for inspiration. Damn nice bike. You have a rear drum. From looking at your bike it looks like the coil would hit the rear caliber.
