dropped spindles not dropping?

[rip]

Hows it going, I got CB dropped spindles, but the weird thing is they really didn't drop the front. I mean currently the front is still missing a bit of wieght and I got new shocks.

I got some cheap KYB GR2's; and am missing the front fenders, the fuel tank, seats and some other small tid bits. So I wondering with the un-worn condition of the new shocks and the lack of weight could be the reason why the front isn't as dropped at it should be?

Right now the front sits at above stock hieght which is reasonable. And looking at my fathers bug who also only has dropped spindles, his is about 4-6 inches lower than mine, which seems like a lot of distance for not a lot of wieght. True when i fill the the tank it should drop, but is this only a weight issues, or do new shocks have to "break in" also?

Guess best bet would be to continue to work on it and hopfully when it is put back together it will drop correctly.

Thanks
