    Thanks I'm gonna shorten my 2004 big dog chopper. Changing my front rim from a 21" to a 26" but keeping almost the same rake.thanks again

    Thank you for this clear and concise video. Can I ask you to get and use some safety glasses? Especially when dealing with any springs--and angle grinders. I temporarily went blind in my right eye due to a detached retina. It was scary. And laying face down for a solid week is awful. I'd just hate to see somebody go through that unnecessarily.

      Shoooks that sounds shitty! You know I've improved since. Was listening to Joe Rogans pod with the owner of Henesy tuning company from USA and he's had multiple eye surgeries from fabrication work without protection. thanks tho, I'll make sure to be more careful!

      @@mancavecustoms13 It's honestly so awful. The worst part--other than an entire week flat on my stomach--was waking up during the surgery. 😳 Can you imagine suddenly becoming aware that there's a little camera and a light saber thingy inside your eyeball, going zap zap zap. 😭😭😭 But thank you for taking my message to heart. I still forget occasionally, too. But then I stop and put on my glasses--and hearing protection if it's a noisy grinder or the like. (I've also gone a little deaf, too. Ugh.)

    Great video, but I would suggest to use a solid spacer for the dampers instead of reusing the cut off spring. Cheers!

      Hey, Thanks for the feedback. I think its a fair point, however in this application they had no chance to tangle up with each other. I didn't mention that, thats true. If it'd be done 'the right way' i agree to you. But also if it would be done 'the right way' it would probably just have proper lowering springs. :P

      Well at the moment I'm not building anything I'm kind of doing my research before I buy the bike but I am considering a Honda 600 R or 650L. Trying to get as much knowledge as possible before picking out the bike. I really appreciate your video.

    It was a little hard to see, but you only put back the the large piece of the spring right? The 4cm cut off were thrown in the trash? It just looked to me, like you put the 4cm cut off piece in aswell? 🤷

    • @rameezsheikh7576
      @rameezsheikh7576 10 месяцев назад +2

      I think he putted the 4cm spring to the bottom of the piston and large one at the top side as usual.

    • @rameezsheikh7576
      @rameezsheikh7576 10 месяцев назад +2

      He inserted the 4cm cut off spring and original spacing spring together.

    • @mancavecustoms13
      @mancavecustoms13  10 месяцев назад

      Sorry for the late reply my guy, yes, I placed the original spacer and the cut off back on the fork piston, as that is what makes the fork tubes stay deeper in the fork legs. I hope that makes sense!

      dont think theres a simple solution for that, unfortnately. Depends on what bike but normally theres a bunch of cheap forks swap options.

    • @mancavecustoms13
      @mancavecustoms13  3 месяца назад

      Well, yes any such changes will. Lowering front I'd assume decreases the rake angle, making the cornering snappier, but less highway stability

      @@robertciganovic965 it will still change slightly, because the wheel bas will get shorter. I'd say Lowe front first and see how it feels. Unless your a track guy, it's unlikely it will make a crazy difference. I didn't mind the change at all!

      @mancavecustoms13  2 месяца назад

      Hey! There are definitely ways to do it, but generally it will be vary janky and make the bike unrideable. You could, for example, cut the springs - very popular technique on cars.
