Looking at lowering my V7C. Going with Todd's YSS shocks.
What's the most amount that someone has safely lowered their bike? I'd like to go somewhere between 1/2-1". At what point would I have clearance issues, or have to cut down the kickstand?
What length shorter shocks has anyone else used?
BTW, the Sachs shocks should be called Suchs.
One thing to bear in mind when you are using shorter shocks is that the angle of the swing arm is different. This could (theoretically) put additional stress on the drive shaft universal joint if you allow too much upward travel.
