On the bobber builds do you lower the front forks at all or no? Just wondering I have an 86 as well and thinking about bobbing it but never really liked how the front sits up.
Ive lowered and 87 vt700 before but it was alot of work for me. had to cut the springs inside the tubes and add spacers. There are kits out there but not easy to do. The easiest way is to just mout the forks slightly lower on the tripple trees. About two inches. It will give you a lower stance without sacrificing a smooth ride. The forks will just stick up a couple inches, if you dont mind the forks sticking up past the upper tripple tree.
@@Lirvic86cv thanks for getting back to me so fast, I’ll try that. I don’t think it would bother me if they stick up some. I just definitely want that lower look in front.
@@raquezslaughter1474 anytime, post some videos of it when you do it. In want to see it when its done. Will you be keeping the same tabk or going with a peanut tank?
@@raquezslaughter1474 i made the same bike, same year too with the stock tank. It looked OK. Its on my channel, but i prefer the peanut. Just trying to figure out hoe to mout the sissy bar on it though.

@@Lirvic86cv I haven’t decided as of yet. I think it’ll look good with the peanut tank though. That bulky stock tank is hideous 😂
