    They extend the back end for drag racing

    extending the back end on a road ped will be useless, due to changing all the geometry ofit, aswill lowering the front end

    long makes it a pain to ride.. low is easy enough.. front forks i can lower/raise/stiffen for you. pm me for more info.

    the rear (without lengthening) is simply finding a shorter shock and if needed fabricating a new lower bracket.
