I just got a new 21" sage.

What size drill bit is recommended for drilling the rear fender holes when you're going to a 21" wheel?

doings a 21" also w/ Paul Yaffe 21" wrapper fender some guys go 1" and some 2" drop, curious what your experience with handling before & after lowering.

Full drop with progressive monotubes, actual measured drop is way closer to -2.5" then the advertised -2". I love the ride and handling, firm but not hard or harsh at all and handles like its on rails......for a 900lb bike anyway. Considering the near complete lack of brake dive, it takes the bumps big and small very very well.

The money question, if I had to do it all over again......I wouldn't change a thing

I was going to do the stock fender tilt (wrap fender now)so I done a bit of reading,
your not actually making the hole diameter bigger just longer, elongate the hole.

Full drop with progressive monotubes,

I bought the drop-ins but from what I am reading I should have went with the Monotubes.
Handling is also an important factor so I may spring for the momotubes and do the job right.

thanxs for the info GoneBlack,
I have been looking at pictures with a 1' & 2" drop to see what stance I like, shit the both l@@k good.

My recommendation would be to return what you bought and run the monotubes, I've run both setups and favor the monotubes, personally. But what do I know just my $.02

As for the height, it's a personal preference. But, if you run the monotubes........slam the bitch she'll look as good as she rides -2"

Gents!

Sorry to just get back. I dropped her 1", powder coated the legs, and I am in love all over again. The handling is superb, I did the monotubes and YES, it's better than stock.

I will post new pics ASAP.

I cannot give a good definition on how great this bike rides. I got a new seat and am waiting on delivery.

But Regina is AWESOME!!!

The back is a 16"er. I called Sage and that is what they felt was the best ride. It rides f&ckin great!!!!
