That's up to you. Some folks like the lower ride. I like mine higher because the front spoiler drags going in and out of the parking lot of my favorite watering hole. It's hard look cool when everyone hears that nasty scraping noise.

I just pulled some measurements off mine. You're pretty close to stock height using the upper part of the tube. You could probably go up .5" to bring the top of the wheels out a bit, but it won't make a lot of difference. The negative camber can give better traction in corners, and if your tires don't wear funny it's not a bad thing.

That photo can be a little deceiving. He's actually measuring to the bottom of the tube. That SS is lowered to about 4.75". If you zoom in the numbers are easier to read.

@deaf1 Are you measuring to the bottom of the frame tube?

I love it when a plan comes together.

You can't compare to my vulture culture.
Damn CR.. I didn't think you were that old!

I can't answer the poll properly, because I have both. Which one is best depends on how you set up your seat. I drive with the seat laid back a bit so my arms are fairly straight. The 9" is perfect for looking over when it's raised an inch or more. I can wear a hat with no worries about it blowing off. I use the 11" in the winter so it can be in the down position and keeps the cockpit warmer.

Is the "4, 2, O trick" where you smoke a joint & then it looks good?!?!
ROFL! I'm innocent I tell ya, INNOCENT! However, a little raspberry cush might just work

How many washers did you have to add to get the fender centered? I did the 4, 2, 0 trick and it's still still off enough the rub the drive side of the tire with two people.
That red is gorgeous by the way!

DAMMIT! Am I late to this party? Well happy belated birthday Joe. Let me know when your up for a ride and I'll bring the good stuff.

I'm old school. The best range guage is the tripometer. I reset it to zero at every fill-up. At 200 miles I start thinking about getting gas. At 250 miles it's a little more urgent. The odd thing is I stretched to 270 once and still only took 9 gallons. I guess I wasn't driving hard enough.

Sturgis, Mt. Rushmore, and Deadwood are worth the extra time. Other than shoulder to shoulder people, you won't be missing much by not being there for bike week. Especially with a 13 year old.

Hell it's probably drops more than that with my fat ass. I haven't had anyone measure yet when I'm in it. It just seems like a good idea.

I'm running 5 1/2 rear and front passenger. 6 1/4 front driver side. The front sits more level when I'm in it

I know this one doesn't seem crazy but it was if you were there.
You drove a turd! Rofl
I still wish we could do something that didn't require a 2 day drive just to get there.

This is probably the best mod anyone has made for the SS. Being able to go fast (turbo) is cool. Making them look good is great. But giving someone a chance to be in the wind again is priceless!

I'm waiting to see if it links sex toys.

When you say "another" abduction attempt....WTF is going on in your neighborhood, man??
I was thinking the same thing. The other thought is what is this lady doing to draw that kind of attention?
