pics of lowered bonnies

anyone have pics of lowered bonnie? Thinking of lowering my bike. Anyone with suspension recommendations would help. I seen Progressive has shocks for Bonnies. They look like a nice product.

Here`s an old pic of my bike with minus 30mm Hagon Nitro`s and the fork tubes up about an inch.

Here it is more recently with 1-1/4" fork drop and 1" under Progressive 412s for the HD Sportster,a 150-70/17 Avon Azarro in back,an 18" rim in the front and a " poser" seat.[only good for a tank of gas] Its hard to tell with no scale,but that seat is 27" off the ground when I`m sitting on it.

Rodburner,

What wheels did you use and what mods are required to fit then?

Looks great, and offers different tyre sizes. Is there an improvement in handling?

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks,

Gerry....

Heres my bonnie when I first bought her, dropped 1.5 inches in the back with short Hagons. Sold those shocks to a guy with a Thrux!

I have nothing worthy to add but I certainly appreciate all those pictures of those beautiful bikes during this winter sabbatical!
