Re:Will Barons lowering kit work with Roadwing? 2 Years, 3 Months ago  
Keep us posted on this. I have a Baron's Lowering Dog Bone and Arms sitting on a shelf. Haven't decided if I'm going to use it or not. It will be helpful to know how this works for you.

I run a BMW rap on mine. Just laying under the seat. It does just drop the rear and tuck the tire. With the rap cranked up it doesn't bottom out often, but can drag frame over speedbumps and deep pot holes.

Yes they work... LocoGringo (Joey) has them on his Roadwing. I helped him adjust them this past September at our Smokey M&G... He lowers it when he rides solo and raises it when his wife rides... They seem to work just fine on his Roadie. He's had them for no telling how long.

Well after doing some measuring and reading ...I decided to not try to lower with Barons part. I will try to get it as soon as I can find a stock one and keep it for kater. Now busy sanding front forks and little detail stuff...
