would anyone buy a 9.5" lower?

Or it could be called a 7lb lower...

Anyone that runs a 6, that has contemplated an 8, but doesn't quite want to go there?

Just curious...

I don't have one... I am wondering if a vendor decided to make a 7lb lower (9.5") if anyone in the L community would be interested...

I want one, but will need to convince a vendor that they can sell a few...

Oh ok, Why not get a 6lb lower and 1lb upper? or 5 lb lower and 2 upper?

Those are certainly options, but a 7lb would solve the problem with just one pulley...

It's not a money thing, it's a ratio thing. The 6lb L lower on a HD doesn't net 4lbs. It's more like 3. A 7lb would net just a hair over 4lbs which is what I am wanting without having to mess with the upper... If I was going to do that I'd go L upper (+2) and a 2lb lower... But I was hoping to solve it with one pulley.

I suspect there are a lot of HD guys that would buy one, but I wondered if that L community might have a few buyers as well...

Thanks for the responses.

Ken

Yeah, I know there are a number of 8lb lowers, but that will net just over 6lbs on my harley upper (3.25" vs. the 2.93" L upper). I really want to net 4lbs of boost and a 9.5" blower pulley will get me really close.

7lb 9.5/3.25=2.923 ratio on the harley compared to
4lb 8.5/2.93=2.9010 ratio on the L.

Close enough... I am afraid to run a 6lb net lower on my heavy a$$ truck for fear of ventilating the block.

Damn, I'm a little disappointed. When I read "buy a 9.5" lower" I thought this thread was about ***** enlargements or something.
