        is there anything inside to keep it from moving, or does it just look sorta like a H if you look at the top? I just dont know if theres stops built in or not.

          EASY RON... Spyderrocs, there are no stops on the blocks, the shape is more like a Y shape. The wide end attaches to the swingarm, and the narrow end slides into the bottom of your shocks. I've never had a issue with the blocks swinging up or forward the pretty much stay where they are,and they have been on my bike for twenty-one tears now.

              But if you made a set that was like an "H" instead of a "Y" you could use a set of "eye-to-eye" shocks instead of the harder to find "eye-to-clevis" shocks.....

              Wouldn't ya think??? Hmmmm.

              I'm gonna have to noodle a bit on that idea.

                Are these lowering blocks still available anywhere? I've looked around and didn't find anything for the early bikes.
                thanks,
                Todd.

                        I have a set for a 750 but they wont fit my 79 cause the caliper is in the way.Do you have shoes or caliper brake on the back?I could send you a pic if you want to see them.I bought them for 25 bucks from someone on here that said they would fit but they dont.

                          that looks real simple, almost like a tuning fork.

                            Yes, Sweet bike Tracy and I really like the lowered look as well. Where do you keep that bike? Ron, do you know where he keeps it???
                            I will have to look into lowering my 79 750.
