Realrazor has made up a few sets for people that are adjustable. I haven't used them but a number of members seem to be very happy with them.

nice, that info should go in the wiki. good find! :headbang:

is it me, or am i the only one who finds it ironic that your screen name is oldskool, and you are taking an old school bike and modernizing/lowering-extending it! :banjoman

that being said, you are probably gonna have to fab a custom swingarm for her, so do a writup when you do! oh, and Pics!
I did that.

lol, about my name Im 22 that name started out as my AIM name back when I was a freshman, lol.. but yea Hotrods and muscle cars are a passion so i guess it kinda fits..I like almost all bikes.. now enough about me..Im gonna have to fab something BUT dont really wanna ruin my swing arm or spend the money so I may just have to leave it lowered for now (or until i can find a set of swing arm extentions that will fit on my swing arm).. now my next question is this....I like my d and d slip on but it isnt as loud as I would like...i dont wanna cut it open or shorten it.. if i take my slip on off and cut the mid pipe half way up and run my exhaust open, will i loose power or hurt my motor? Isnt my exup valve going to give me back pressure?
