Back in the early days of the v-stars there was a website dedicated to mods for them, it was originally called the “Julio” slam. I guess over the years the name got shortened. I did it to mine back then, seemed to ride a bit rougher but dang it looked great

[@theaveragebikergarage]

That’s awesome thanks for the info I miss the old days of forums Facebook groups just aren’t the same

[@vulgarshots]

This was an entire website dedicated for the 650, it’s owned by some freaking Chinese domain now!! 😡

Where did you get the attachment from? Looked at a few price ranges for the same part but not sure of quality

I just ordered the 1.5" pacific coast progressive rear spring and lowering block.

[@theaveragebikergarage]

Hell yea let me know how it is. I’ve heard good things about that company too.

[@Randomhero413]

@theaveragebikergarage sure thing 👍. Depending on how it handles after the rear is done I may drop the front with their 2" progressive spring kit.

[@Randomhero413]

@theaveragebikergarage so tell me, how does your vstar handle with the lowering done as opposed to before it was lowered? Any significant differences? My brother is saying my pegs with scrape do you have any issues??

[@theaveragebikergarage]

@@Randomhero413 I built the vstar mainly for content and to sell in order to get my sporty for a build competition. That being said I don’t have it anymore. But while I did have it I rode it enough to notice the difference in handling from the stock stance and was impressed with how it handled and if I ever get another one ill definitely lower it. As far as scraping pegs goes I do that on my stock height ultra. It all depends on how aggressive you ride, road conditions, body weight. All that factors into scraping pegs.

​@theaveragebikergarage I installed the Pacific Coast lowering kit with progressive spring yesterday. Day before I put on a set of 4" pullback risers from Show Chrome. The bike feels so much better at 6ft and 255lbs.
