Here is a start with the install. Should finish it up tonight but I have a lot of cleaning details as it goes back together. The shocks are 13" so it's going up a little. The tear down was pretty much straight forward. The only tip I would give is after you remove the Top fork bolt, loosen the pinch bolt and slide the tube down so you can get the Spring retaining bolt. Retighten the pinch bolt and use the triple tree as a vise. Don't take it off while it's on the bike just loosen it. Take it off after you remove the fork.

Here is the rest.








The ride is GREAT. Much better but I'm still not sure about the 13" shocks. I know a lot of guys are not excited about lowering blocks but these are the nicest ones I have found. They keep the angle of the shock the same and still keep the softer ride with the 13"'s.

How much did it lower the bike in front, I just did the monotube and wanted 1" lower but it lower the front 1 3/4". Talked to progressive they said I assembled something wrong.

Hey, which lowering blocks did you use?

Thanks in advance,
