I have the drop spindles. I mocked the wheels up and it just didn't seem like it would be low enough. How low do you think it would be? I was gonna run pretty low profile tires

I would probably wait until you have everything together and see where it sits before trying to lower it even more. It will sit fairly low with the two inch drop spindles.

Yeah I was thinking with the weight of the motor and everything it would drop a little.
