The lighting in this shot isn't very good at all but it does show the chrome detail in the decals....

I've been wanting to lower the rear end forever. I have a nice set of struts but I don't like street riding with them. I'm thinking I might trim the springs on the shocks I have on there now.....

Looks great!
B)

Do you have the rear axle towards the bottom of the adjuster?
Rotating the eccentric to the top could lower you an inch or two.

I remember having to move it so the chain would clear the swingarm. I think it was with a different set of sprockets though....can't remember for sure. :S

I think it's worth another try though....thanks for the reminder!

Now that I think about it, I think the chain would better clear the top of the swingarm if the eccentric were towards the top....not sure why I have it down there. Too much partying in the 80's I guess :whistle:
