How about you shell out $55-$70 and get a CFM Lowering Kit, and drop the rear shock linkage. Then you can handle turns like never before. Get at me with a personal message and I'll give you the info to contact them. You won't regret lowering your rappy....the handling is exceptional after you drop it.

The lowering kit drops the front 4' and extends it 2'.

Then you flip the rear linkage and get 4' lower in the back.

Looks great and handles like a champ.

Install a valve stem through this hole and install another backwards through the stock hole. Remount your tires. This puts a valve stem to the outside when the wheels are flipped and no extra washers are required to made the stock stem miss the brake rotor.

Do this and you will have NO problems!!!!!!!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] I ride with a buddy that's done this to his and it helps! Of course you could break down and buy after market wheels like I did!!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] This seems to have worked for me, but I'll be getting an axle pretty soon. ( I hope!!)
