Front slam
- Thread starter cueball
- Start date
Your going to get a lot of different opinions on the "best" way to do it. If you run a strap only use it for the drags and be careful not to tighten it down too much because you increase the chance of your front end washing out.
On my bike I have the soupy's blocks up front and then strap it down at the track. It does just fine that way.
I plan on eventually sending my forks out to have them cut down.

what you want to do will prob help
like fiend said straps are not good for anything but racing, even though ive seen it done, doesnt make it a good idea.
prob your only choice to slam it will be mod the forks and or replace the upper triple.

Just get your forks cut or go with spacers or a different triple.

do they make spacers over 1". ive never really looked into them but seems like all ive seen is 1"
Come to think of it I haven't either. You could possibly get some made though.

New triple tree, imo. More height options than the block or strap.

Well, when you say slam, you'll need to go triple tree plate and clamp or have fork tubes shortened, etc.
To lower it a little for looks, go with the risers. Very cheap and easy to do.
Understand that this will change things. Warning : if you lock the steering left you will operate the front brakes. Some have dropped their babies learning this.

I had my last bike with the forks internally lowered 2". Stock triple tree.
That was too low IMO for the street. Speed bumps or driveway transitions meant scraping the pipe....
I would not go more than an inch

I like the combination of lowering tree and straps. I lowered 1" with the tree for everyday use and the strap for the track. I wouldn't go more than and inch cause the pipes scraping and the front fender hitting.

Those use to run > $300.00, the risers are like $20.00. Your ride your money
Check out one of our sponsors BallzMotorsports... They offer nice lowering trees under 200 bucks! I have one on my bike. Good quality.

You just need ONE tree. It will be the upper most that holds your bars in place.
