Nigh-Thawk Day 6






I wanted the rear to be lower and was weighing my options. My first thought was to hard tail it with solid struts but my boss thought that ridablility would suffer. He found me some shorter shocks. Going from about 13 inches stock to 11 1/2. It really closed the gap a good deal and made it much easier for me to sit with my feet flat (I'm only 5'7). The new shocks were a lot cleaner with less rust too so it worked on several levels. The lower bolts were much smaller on the new shocks so I had to drill and re tap them for the original bolts to fit and fill the gap.
