Momma's ride, about 3" down front and back;

-2 cyclex fork tubes
Tubes slid up the trees 1 1/4 inches
15w fork oil
Shorty shocks on the back
16x3 rear rim

Next on the chopping block, 2" of foam cut out of the driver part of the seat and angled in a bit on the sides.  She already has thick soled DM's.  This should finish the whole lowering project.

Hey duke, we need pictures now.   ;D ;D ;D

TipperT, nice!  Where are you getting the seat done?  I have a king/queen seat and would like to get a little more lowering done.  I haven't checked shops in my area yet.  Will posts some pics later.

There is some place up north that I have been thinking about.  I do not have the link on this computer.

I will be cutting and shaping the foam and may have them make the cover.

Found the link.  This guy seems to do decent work and the piping looks good.

The link below is to Free Booter's build and the seat he had done by them

Re reply # 22

 I do not see where he wanted a circuit bike..??

 There was a time way back where I could corner pretty hard, that was with a 16 inch rear.. At one point I put the lowering blocks on and it slowed me down a bit..

 When I run rigid rear, the bike is pretty low and I dont corner hard at all. Do I miss it.. not really,, rather see more country than incresed lean angles.. to each their own...
