OK, folks,

 

I've been reading all the info I can find on lowering the RSV and one thing that happened to me that I don't see mentioned here is bottoming out. I put the baron's kit on the rear of m '09 and thought I'd found the solution to being vertically challenged. Went on a trip to Memphis and then a one-day ride on my return. On that ride, I had a blowout on the rear tire. Upon investigating, I found some significant gouging in the rear tire obviously from bottoming out. I must say, it was all 2-up riding. I have the rear shock maxed out and am running the stock size AVON Venom X tire on the rear. My solution now is to remove the lowering kit and try a lower profile tire. Any comments or suggestions?

I lowered the front by raising the tubes in the front and went Darkside with a BF Goodrich TA Radial in the back. Works great for me. The tire lowered the back about one inch. Remember, this is not for everyone, or so I've been told.
