- Full detail on lowering the front end. This is a 4inch drop. Highly recommend only going 3inch for daily riding.

Love how you just do the job and show it.
I like the way your showing this your editing is very good .very interesting project .
Really appreciate that! I was afraid I wasn’t giving enough explanation or detail by not talking in the videos.
A no B.S look at a bobber build with tools that most people have... sub straight away. Looking forward to more.
Really appreciate it! Lots more to come for sure
Subbed straight to the point no bs keep up the good work
Much appreciated! Working on some more content as we speak
Good Stuff Bro....Hoorah!!
Great videos , what is the purpose of cutting the coil and adding the spacer with a cushion rod? Lenght or performance?
Sorry for late response
It’s mostly for looks. Wanted the bike as low as I could get it for research purposes mostly. It handled well but definitely not a long touring bike anymore. Was more of a around town short trip bike
Did you consider moving the forks up 1-1.5 inches at the triple tree?
Yes I’ve done that. I feel like it looks kinda cheap in my opinion. So I learned as much as I could about lowering forks... wether it’s pulling through the triple, cut springs/dampener spacer, or ordering a kit and I found the best results were the way I taped this video. Kits are expensive and pulling through the trees just didn’t give me the clean look I wanted but definitely budget friendly if your wanting a quick way to get back on the road
@@rev7garage I dig what you did but it was only 3 inches, 1.75 worked for me, save me the trouble and I spent money other places. Don't get me wrong , I appreciate your build. I learned a lot from it and thought your videos were awesome. You customized it to how YOU wanted it and it was greatness to me cause YOU did it all! I am proud of you for your build young man and wish you the best in many more builds! God Speed! Keep us posted on all your next builds! I will be watching.
Thanks man! Yea what I did also made the rear end a lot stiffer. I’m not a huge dude but it took a lot of sag out of the stock front end. For the little bit your lowering it, I’d think pulling through is fine. It shouldn’t bottom out
Been slacking taping new content. Just been pounding out custom work. Have 2 more bikes almost built
I’m subscribing rn. Man that’s going to be a beautiful bike. Where can I buy the 3” front lowering kit?
what is the 4 inch spacer made from?
Piping found at your local hardware store
Are those the stock forks?
They are stock forks that have been lowered 4inches. Given the chance I’d never go that low again lol. It was maxed out on bumpy roads. 2.5 inches seems to be the sweet spot
