Thanks guys for your input. I didn't think a 1/2 inch would make
a big difference but in some cases it could. Jess with 12,480 post you should know a lot and or a little about everything valkyrie so thanks for chiming in your opinion means a lot. I don't think I would consider going to 11in., but thanks for sharing that experience first hand. Always better to hear it from the guy that did it. Just curious as probably others are why did you try 11in., looks, easier to flat foot it, or just to see how it would handle. Not judging you I once tried steering by crossing my arm and having my left hand on the throttle and right hand on left side, I wrecked in probably less than 10 seconds

anybody got any opinions on my shock question please post it.
Anybody with any don't tries that could satisfy our curiosity and possibly our lives please post it

Thanks, And ride safe
Steve
