Anyone have the eye to eye length for the Uly shock?

Still trying to determine the easiest way to lower the Uly for short rider.

Thanks

I remember reading about a "lowered" Uly that a guy test rode at a dealer in Wyoming. Don't know how it was done, but it might be worth giving them a call.

Tom,
You thinking about jumping back in? Did the 500 mile oil change before hitting the road this time. Still making me grin every time I ride it.

Last fall I seen that the dealer in St. Cloud, MN. had a Uly apart at both ends and the salesman said they had sent the suspension off somewhere to have it lowered for a customer. You may want to contact them as to what and where it was done.

I hope we can find a good source for this service. I'd love to lose 2 inches of height
(seat height that is). I could actually touch the ground then.

Thanks All

We are going to follow up on all of the option to get both feet "solidly" on the ground.

The Uly is to great a bike, not to be able to utilize it.

Will be talking with the Penske guys at the Charlotte Race today to see if they can "custom " build a version of their great XB shock for the Uly.

Granted, there will be some cost involved, however, name me something worth doing that does not have an associated cost, either in $ or Time.

Thanks for all the support
