    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'm not sure why you would want to do it, but to each his own. If you do it, then you will need to slide your forks up in the triples the same amount that you lower your back end or you will end up with a chopperish ride and funky handling. I'm not sure you will have 2" of clearance under your bars for that to work OK. Also, dropping it that much is going to eliminate the possibility of actually going around a corner at anything other than a very sedate speed. Since I live for the twisties, this wouldn't work at all for me. Your choce. 8)

I did it on my yammy street tracker and my spine still hurts. I'll look for a pohoto. I dont believe the lowering blocks work on bikes with rear disk brakes.
