    Is it possible to diassemble an L model shock to make it shorter?

    I want to lower the bike and was checking out all options including shorter shocks, lowering blocks, and shortening the stock shocks.

    Sure, you can just install smaller/shorter shocks.

    I do not advocate cutting coils on any shock.

        blocks

        Lowering blocks were my choice only because you can remove them if you want. They are very easy to take off, so you can reverse the mod without any permanent damage to the rear suspension.

            I don't know if you would have any issues, I wouldn't think so. Can you post some pics? Here's what mine looks like.:?

              I didn't buy them yet, but I looked at your pics before for inspiration. Damn nice bike. You have a rear drum. From looking at your bike it looks like the coil would hit the rear caliber.
