I am looking for a parts list for lowering a Uly. Maybe fork springs and another XB shock spring for the rear?

I'm not really interested in dropping the forks in the tripple trees and the handlebar reposition that requires.

Thank you

Possibly raising the handlebars by doing this http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/142 838/228937.html

By doing this you can raise the forks in the triple trees a fair amount and then you won't have to shorten your fork travel. I would first see where your tire will go if the forks bottom before you do this method of lowering. If all works out it sure would be easier and you'd still have the original front fork travel. Certainly is a very inexpensive way to lower the front end.

I'm thinking that the fork legs and shock from a TT would do the trick. I haven't got part #s or prices yet; the bike's too new. If prices are reasonable, I'll let everyone on here know how it goes.
