ohhh now you can see what the bike is going to look like. Sometimes it takes a while to see what is planned, but as soon as you dropped the rear end it's clear. It's going to be awesome. I for one did not think about the difference the height would make to the bike when it's on its kickstand so have saved that tip.
I remember doing this same swap on our XV250 builds mate. Was wondering about the weight difference. I tried looking for those shocks a while back and was "shocked" at how much they'd gone up in price! That well kept secret is now out.
Looking good! Any plans towards removing the pillion seat an sissy bar? That would be a dramatic tail tuck with how Steve sweeps up towards the front. This bike does look it can invite to go crazy once you get started :)
Hey man, great video 👍 love your channel! I have a Suzuki vl250 lc intruder that I'm bobbing out. Most parts I have to fabricate myself as there's not a lot of aftermarket parts for it. Wondering if you know whether I could fit these rebel 250 shocks on my Suzi?
Allways look forward to these uploads
Cheers mate!

Thanks mate i have been a bit koy on what im aiming for too, to keep the intrigue!! Im really happy with how its looking so far. Cheers and take care!
I really like the look of the upswept gas tank on this bike - maybe enhanced more by lowering the back end. Nice job!

It has a great stance and feels a little chopper like!

Yeah i brought the memories flooding back. They are def stiff enough to hold the bike, particularly with the preload wound up! Haha before our time!!!
Tucking the tail down sure made a difference 😎🤙🏻
Looks cool, hey!
@@iRidetas absolutely

Yes sir! New rear guard and seat will be put on. Will take advantage of that low stance 😀😀😀😀 cheers franky
Good tip about the stand, have you noticed if it handles any differently now : )
Its def more rigid and stiff! But still handles well. Cheers
Looking good. Love your work.
Thank you good sir!
Great job. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers
Hey! Great videos, looking to do this to my xv1100. What size (mm) are the shocks you fitted?
300mm from memory!
Awesome mate
Thank you!

Im not sure sorry have no experience with that bike! Cheers
@@iRidetas no worries man, thanks for the reply. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see what else is in store for Steve 👍
Have you been bottoming out? Still a comfy ride?
No and yes!
can you still carry the weight of a passanger with those springs?
Easily
