Keith,
Take the wife's full length mirror and put it next to the bike. Get on
and look at the swing arm. More than likely it is now angled down
towards the center of the bike. It should also be evident just looking
at the swing arm while the bike is on the center stand. If you want to
lower the bike correctly with those shocks, you would also have to go
with a smaller size rim. You can safely use a 12.5" shock to lower it
enough without causing the angle effect.

Wouldn't the bike be sloped towards the rear forcing lube to the rear wheel, not away from it? If my theory is backards, this could prove Andy Hill's theory that the oil I am getting dripping ever so slowly from the driveshaft boot is from the rear drive migrating forward down the driveshaft. I wonder if Progessive reworks their shocks to get them back to 13" height? Keith Ruff Manahawkin, NJ Rob Prins wrote:
