Question fellow Lex Cat, what is the drop on your machine, it looks good. I am looking to drop my 3rd Gen 430 and I have been asking around the forum for some good methods of dropping mines economically with breaking my pocket and still ride comfortably.

I was rushing to work and I was excited to catch the fed ex guy before I left.. Only had times to take pics of the box. Hence the "more pics to follow. "

Did some clean up on the calipers. I used Dupli-Color Primer, Gloss Black and then the Dupli-color protective clear-coat. I was hoping they came out a bit shiner. What do you guys think?

Pretty damn sure he shaved the rear and rolled the front with DF springs. Probably get away with no fender mods with NF springs
