the stock LT and TBird look like they could ride over boulders so i wanted to see how they would look slammed..and this isnt quite slammed- its got a few inches to go.
i am amazed that very few people have customised this bike. so many do it with the equivalent jap bikes.

Normally I don't like mods that take it too far from stock, but I have to say, I do like the lightly slammed look. Gives it a short-and-stocky, V-twin vibe...not that I don't like the standard European character of the stock bike, but the lowered look appeals to me a great deal as well...just in a different way. Funny you can almost make it an apples-to-oranges comparison just by taking off a couple inches.

Getting back to the topic............. I don't know how you can tell from a photo shop that there is two inches of travel left, but even if there was that is no where near enough if you intend to use the LT as it was intended, unless it is just for posing purposes down at the local pub and riding on freeways.
Maybe one reason it hasn't been customised yet is that it hasn't been around long enough
BTW, we never saw that exhaust job on the red haze?

Indeed for posing Leethal , you just to see what they do to the Hayabusa over there, some of them wouldnt
make the roundabout turn.
