Wow. This seems to be a replay of the quick throttle deal with Racnray. At least he learned. Where's Brad when we need him?

I'm with Rick and Dave... It's not expensive compared to a new set of shorter aftermarket shocks - and why shouldn't Rick keep his design to himself to protect the intellectual property?

What might help though Rick is a better photo of the new stance of the bike with your kit fitted & hidden behind the bags? Trrust32's endorsement / review is good, but his avatar is small, and I don't see that he has any pic's in his profile either.

What I learned is that no matter what, some people will never be satisfied with whatever they put there sights on, and that is all I learned. Of course I already knew that havin lived a few years, and havin been married too!!!

No one "taught" me a lesson here, or the previous site this came from. I was just reminded.

Well, you also showed your work, even if you were reluctant for similar reasons. We went through this already and Brad had the best retort. It applies here as well. That's said, I never said anyone taught you a lesson, but you did learn one.

All if you are looking for the stance please go to my photo album and look at all albums. I will try and get the pic in this string.

I've already seen the bike and I love it. Looks like the garage is as nice as the bike!

Nice looking scoot - but to really see how this thing works we'd need to see it with stock wheels . . . Your ass does look lower, but is that because of the lowering link, or because of the oversized front wheel . . .

Looks real nice though!

I agree I would like to see a part on a bench so I can visualize for my self how its going to work ( like women they all look good, but they all have diferent attitudes and personalities)

If this is what I'm thinking it is, my daughters boyfriend has this, a version of it anyway, on his Harley along with shorter shocks to lower his bike about 4". He is really height challenged, it moves his shock reward at the bottom to make it lower.
