    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Any gs850 lowered out their? What are you experience? Any pics of before and after? I would love to see em. I am thinking about it . Going to put in new suspension and cant decide what to do. I like the dyna glide profile wondering if lowering the rear end a bit will help kinda accomplish that with my gs850L

Not good for the shaft drive to change the angles much.

i second that...u joints reqiree a certain angle to work properly....without that angle u can get vibration, or u joint failure...

if u want a lowered look put the rear springs on the lowest settings...maybe raise your forks up a bit

or get a fat chick on it....

For now I will leave it. It seems to ride smooth. I have other things to work on . I appreciate the response.
 
You could also look for a lower profile tire, maybe a 130/80/17 instead of a 130/90/17 I know bridge stone makes them . but it maybe a little wider as it is an aspect ratio on tire sizes.
