Greetings everyone,
LONG time reader here, first time poster (now that I have a project).
I just got off the phone with Dime City and asked them about lowering my CB350's front. I have their 11" clevis/eyes shocks on the rear (2" drop) and need to even out the forks, now.
DCC was great on the phone, and they mentioned I should call Progressive and see what they have.
After chatting with Progressive, they informed me they didn't have anything specific for the CB350.
Couple Qs for you lads and ladies...
1) Does Progressive really not have anything for this bike?
2) If not, has anyone used a spring model that works with the 350?
If I can't get anything aftermarket, I will be going the spring shortening/spacer/extra spring route with the stock internals. That being said, I'd prefer to not get too hacky with this.
I've read about sliding the forks through the triple tree, but what's to stop the forks from sliding further up during riding? Outside of the pinch clamp+bolt, I don't see how the forks would stay in place after slipping them up. I'm very open to being told otherwise on this, though - if it's a safe route to go.
All the best and thank you!
Cheers
