    Genious,

    I lowered the rear with 11.5" Progressive shocks I found used on EBAY. Then the fronts I used a spacer on the dampening rod (this will only make sense once you take the forks apart). The front rides rough so I have bought Progressive fork springs as well but have not installed them yet.

    As for the fork brace, I trust that it is doing it's job. I did not have enough seat time on the bike before I completely redid it. When I do the new fork springs I am going to take the brace off and ride with it a while then install it and see if I can tell a difference. The guys who have one swear by it.

    If you wanna see details on how it was lowered or anything else, here's a link to the build: Bike Build
