I have scraped the bottom of my new next R pipe, several times, with my girlfriend riding on the back. Would the new shock absorber solve this problem?

its would help. or lose some wieght lol.

the new shock from provo is really nice i would recommend it highly.

you could do a 2 inch lift on it, they are easy to make and weld.

If you are scraping the bottom of the pipe on the road then a shock will not help. The shock will raise the body, not the pipe. Bigger tires will help this, as it will raise the ground clearance of the pipe.

unless it is with the extra wieght and the fornt bottem by the exhuast header is scraping then the stiff spention would keep it from dropping the center hieght down when hitting a bump.

How much more height do the Michelin S1 tires give you over the stock?
Does anyone know the exact tire dimensions of the Michelin S1 for the Vino?
The stock are 80/90 - 10...what does the 10 mean?
