Lowering blocks

rij1
Has anyone made and used lowering blocks on 1978-1983 cb750F's? I just finished making a pair for my bike but wanna hear how they do and if anyone uses them. I still need to get a couple bolts before I can try them out.

I have welded tabs on swingarms to mount the shocks back further, and it works really nice.

Well I installed the blocks and the ride seems smoother. I cant use the chain guard with the block but I think its worth it.. This is as low as I can lower with the blocks before the shock hits the brake caliper.
