After market shock bracket shorteners for my CB550 76
« on: June 27, 2005, 04:59:13 PM »
Are these things safe to use? They move the position of the rear shock back, so that rear seat height is lower. Any Pros and Cons to share???

Won't lowering the bike make bits of it drag in high g turns when the springs compress?
