what's the philosophy behind lowering the rear but not the front? i've always read that you've got to do both. is there some advantage to doing it all at one end?

cool! you should change the pegs out to mids instead of rearsets. that looks like a cruiser now haha.

how do you find the handling has changed? i'm assuming you did ride it some before making the change. what differences are most noticable?

I never went rippin around too much so I can’t really tell a difference but I do know you really need to pay attention when making a turn and tour feet are stickin out,the road will skin your shoe. It is just a cruiser but I use the term Japanese cruiser very loosely.

No reason other than to get a picture.

50 years ago, almost every kid mounted his bicycle by putting his outside foot on the pedal, pushing off with the inside foot, and swing his foot over the back wheel. Now you NEVER see that happening. Clip-in pedals aren't the only reason. Wonder what changed?

Only thing worse is kickstarting a bike on the sidestand.
