Lowering Blocks...who has them?

For the rear shocks...
Anyone know where they can be had?
Anyone here that might be able to make them?

On a scale of 1 to 10, say the ride quality with regular shocks and springs is a 10 and struts are a 1.
Imo, lowering blocks come in at a strong 2 when used with the same regular shocks and springs.
Look forward to loose fillings, hemorrhoids, and probably spinal compression fractures. :ohmy:

That kit,John,is for a bike with drum brakes only,but thanks anyway.
I remember now,from aa long time ago,that getting them for a rear disk is almost impossible.
I need to lower the rear a bit...not 2 inches,but some.
I'll have to look at some shorter shocks then.

have you tried softening up the preload on your shocks?
Still recovering,some days are better than others.

Ya,I'll give that a shot and see.I put a set of ZRX shocks on,for our trip up north,and they're even taller than the originals.Not much,but they're taller.

Sandy I had a set on my 78. I also had the front lowered 2 inches. The first corner I took at any speed made my kickstand drag. After a new pair of skivies I figured I should slow down around corners. :laugh: The ride was the same as if they weren't on. The shocks still have the same travel.
