it was from the website you posted in an earlier post..

http://www.soupysperformance.com/ins...tructions.html

half way down the page, it reads this:

5. When adjusting the bike extremely low, some bikes may need a slight amount of material removed from the bottom of the shock mount for clearance.

When I went back to the shop to sit on it and see how much further I had to go, the guy said that the wishbone was the problem that wouldn't allow it to go any lower.

I have attached the actual picture of the part on the bike along with a few others. hopefully it will help with what I am talking about.

We already had the kickstand shortened which you can see in the pic too.

Your chicken strips are shameful.
