blake,, when you want to live the v-star knuckle drag cruiser look, let me know ,, have a freebie slam trick for you
el paso special,,,, make sthe v-star ride low enough for even me to touch ground with fingertips and still have some suspension,,, no parts required
as for the vision- i am only 5 ft nuthin so i had custom seat made, dropped rate guide to first notch and am dropping the forks 1.5 inches in the risers,, to level it out ,, rides almost the same to me ,, but it depends on how long you ride a stock set up as to if is good or not ,
