Re: Got rear bagged this morning!

Are the bags completly compressed? Looks like thats about as low as your going to get with those cups in place even with a c-notch.

Re: Got rear bagged this morning!

I made a cup so I wouldnt have to drill into the frame. Bag is not hardly compressed all the way, but doesnt like much. I still have the factory bump stops still on. I gonna do front and see how big c-notch I need. I may have to throw cup out but is worth a shot.

Re: Got rear bagged this morning!

It looks great

But I will say that if you're running Slams, that the minimum height on the bag is like 3" & I dont think that a notch would be all that useful to you if you bottom your bag out before it goes into it

That cup is gonna make you ride however thick it is higher

IMO, just take the time to drill 3 holes in each frame rail & then notch it, so you can ride lower

If I remember correctly, this was ride height on Sinister with the bags bolted to the frame & the trailing arms

Re: Got rear bagged this morning!

Yeah I know how to bolt to frame. lol but I was gonna try this way and do front a look at the difference

I made a cup so I wouldnt have to drill into the frame. Bag is not hardly compressed all the way, but doesnt like much. I still have the factory bump stops still on. I gonna do front and see how big c-notch I need. I may have to throw cup out but is worth a shot.
