    Shocks

    Nulle,

    I bit the bullet and got the Progressive 412 shocks. A little salty to say the least, but no more bouncing from foot to foot...I have a 28" inseam and now sit in the saddle with both feet on the ground.

            Hey Guys!
            I'm thinking about doing the same thing ( a bit short myself).
            Did you lower the forks also?
            And.......how does it handle? Any problems with the side stand etc.?
            Thanks

              Been gone a few days...sorry for the delay. I went 11". It has made a great improvement on my ride. I did not do anything to the front end and it sits and handles great.

                and yes...the kick stand needs to be altered...I used a torch with the buddy system. He was under the bike, I was on top gitting the right tilt.

                    I think they do. I have seen them in the Dennis Kirk cataloge before but ordered mine from my local bike shop. The other place to look would be accwhse.com

                    Good Luck
