I love this look for the street. Completely impractical (unless it is bagged), but boy it looks good...

Thanks with the addjusters I can get to 6" of ground clearance. With larger dia. tires and longer bump stops can get to 8" I think that enough to go slow on trail rides. Time will tell I hope to go to the Pismo club meet.

Glad to hear it! Hope to make it next year, as this year won't be possible. Definitely within the next 3 years though!

I noticed you are "attaching" your photos to your posts. If you create an album on this site and post those pictures, you'll have some options on sizing. Have a look at this thread on how to do it:
