    Hum, Harleys have a low center of gravity but dont corner so well. And remember whenever you make one thing stronger you make another thing weaker.

    Don't you get the same benefit if you just lower the forks in the triple trees? It seems cheaper too.

    Kind of Nitro, but you can get somw real front end instability if you drop too much, which from my understanding, is easy to do.

    Raising the rear is often the better choice.
