I have never even heard of them! Like most, I used Muzzy. http://www.zggtr.org/index.php?topic=260.0 They appear to be of similar design, materials, and price.

tks Max. I did a lot of searching and cant find anything. Nando sold a set and he thought the quality was good, they sell a kickstand to match the drop. I know ZG raves about their bars. For Nandos used price it was a great deal for experimenting.
The other issue is raising the fork tubes. I have the Heli Horizons and there is about 3/4" clearance before the adjuster will hit the bottom of the bars. I guess that is plenty for a 1" drop in the rear. Great thread you started on the lowering. Thanks

Either will probably work OK. I bought a different kickstand (Soupy's adjustable) which was, I think, just as expensive and seems to have held up fine (see other thread).QuoteThe other issue is raising the fork tubes.

I have the non-Horizons (regular) risers- they give lots of clearance. But remember your geometry. You will need to lower the front by an inch, just like the rear, to maintain similar geometry. But that doesn't mean the forks rise an inch- IT WILL BE MORE. You will need the side the tubes up 1 and 1/8" to get 1" (it is a triangle, you know). Otherwise, you will end up with something strange. I am not expert enough (nowhere near) to tell you EXACTLY what uneven lowering will to do the handling, but I do not recommend it.

PE (Precision Engineering) is a quality shop and does great work and has great communication IMO, if they have something you want buy it! Trust me they will stand behind their products and if you don't like it refund yer $.
