Pic Request - Bugeye lowered with original wheels.
Hi. Just wondering what the bugeye looks like lowered with the original alloys as I don't want to lower it if it makes the wheels look small. Thanks

Mines dropped on 18's with eibach's and they do fill the arches well.......
But don't do it for cosmetic reasons, do it for the handling which I have to say, doesn't get any better than the original set-up. I'm actually thinking of getting mine raised....
Alloy gets on with his ride height....

Moto That looks pretty good mate. Is the handling improved?
I don't really want to get 18s as like a couple of you said it upsets the handling. I think eibach springs with original wheels and decent tyres should improve the look and handling.

My latest additions are front and rear droplinks and adjustable anti roll bars. They have been another big step forward in terms of handling.

Still enjoying the power hike but it's definately an addiction - want more! All good with your motor? Will have to meet up again before too long mate.

Moto, the wheels are a big improvement. Take it they're real PFF7's?
