No Lower Cups?
I've read that it's possible to run with no lower cups in the stock arms (63-87). Anyone with experience/opinions for or against this? I've already got 2.5" spindles and I don't care about laying out, but I do want a comfortably low ride hieght.

Re: No Lower Cups?
You might be able to run with no cups, but I wouldn't do it. I like cups just for the extra assurance the bring. You can always cut them down pretty low if you need to. It really is there to center the bag.

Re: No Lower Cups?
I didn't use cups, but...I did use a flat peice of round plate to give the bottom of the bag a nice even surface to sit on. I'm also running RE-6s up front which helps with clearance. Here's the only pic I have at the moment.

Re: No Lower Cups?
Here is the bracket setup, from SD
http://*****************/67-87Fullsiz...rtBrackets.php If you do want to go lower, some people make a "Reverse" cup for the lower A arm That way you have lots of clearance around your bag & you can run no cup Here is what I'm talking about Quote:

Re: No Lower Cups?
It looks strange from the top view. I know it's an optical illusion after see the bottom, but it looks like a peanut shaped cut out.
Nice Work.
