V Star 1100 Bobber How to Lower Foks

Lowering the forks can add some character to the bike both in looks and performance. This is a simple and effective way to get the height down in the front end without breaking the bank. I stated in the video 450ml/cc of 20w fork oil (factory suggested levels) but have revised my statement to 400ml/cc in the lowered fork.

Thanks for making a great video. I'd never worked on forks before but I followed your video. I lowered it a little too far, but more importantly - the forks feel rock solid. Do you have any thoughts on where I might have gone wrong? Thanks!

How much spring did you cut and what size spacer did you end up making?

[@RalfeOrtiz]

Clean! How many inches did you drop the front?

[@rev7garage]

This build was 2inch drop

@@rev7garage Great! What’s a good drop height for daily driving?

[@rev7garage]

2inches is perfect I did 4 in my first build and that combined with hardtail pretty much ruptured my spleen lol. 2inch is perfect Everything sits level

@@rev7garage thanks for the advice!
