Re: 61 want to lower..

I have a 61 also and plan to install bags in it. I looked at the control arms and it looks like they just need a place to mount the bags. I "assume" the tortion bars can just be removed when tention is off them. I put bags on my 65 and it was very easy. Im going to use what I learned with that one for the 61.
