anyone used this kit and can offer feedback as to how good it is/is not?

Anyone used the rear shocks only and left the front end stock?

 

I have installed Burly Slammer kit ... hard but I like it ... excellent in curves ... only large bumps are a problem.

 

Not bad, stiffer suspension, makes the bike look bad ***, not for the marathon rides.

 

OK, so you're rollin' down a smooth road at 50 mph. You don't see a pothole that is 18 in. across and 9 in. deep. You go right thru the middle of it at 50 mph thinking "Oh, ****."

Where is your body at maximum launch trajectory? Does it feel like you've been kicked in the ***?

Not messin' here. I'm actually thinking about buying them... TIA

 

In this situation, and any suspension ... get a terrible kick in the ***.

Burly is a fully working suspension, even for bad roads in Eastern Europe ... where I drive.

 

How is it with passengers??? The ole lady rides with me

 

With passenger ... I do not think that's a good idea ...

 

crap, wish i could lower it and still ride a passenger

OK, big kick in the *** . What about the launch trajectory? Is there a springboard effect and how much harder is the slam over stock...10%, 50% ??

 

I'm in the same boat. My wife weights 130 and I have the stockers set on 2. Do the Burley shocks have the same settings? Anyone think I would still bottom out?
