Caj Posted June 4, 2013 Share #53 Posted June 4, 2013 OK, folks, I've been reading all the info I can find on lowering the RSV and one thing that happened to me that I don't see mentioned here is bottoming out. I put the baron's kit on the rear of m '09 and thought I'd found the solution to being vertically challenged. Went on a trip to Memphis and then a one-day ride on my return. On that ride, I had a blowout on the rear tire. Upon investigating, I found some significant gouging in the rear tire obviously from bottoming out. I must say, it was all 2-up riding. I have the rear shock maxed out and am running the stock size AVON Venom X tire on the rear. My solution now is to remove the lowering kit and try a lower profile tire. Any comments or suggestions?

wizard Posted June 4, 2013 Share #54 Posted June 4, 2013 I lowered the front by raising the tubes in the front and went Darkside with a BF Goodrich TA Radial in the back. Works great for me. The tire lowered the back about one inch. Remember, this is not for everyone, or so I've been told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
