Default slamming a softail for 14 bucks

Well I installed the lowering studs...didn't look slammed....was real close...so I removed the front bushings and cut the middle bushing material.re installed it..did away with the rubber putter bushing material( 1/2 inch thick.)..replaced it with double stack grade 8 washers....now she's slammed... Tightened up rear nuts...anyone wanting more info email me...100% rock solid

It's gonna slam alright, shoulda left the rubber bottoming bushing but you'll figure that out real quick

I ride solo...still have 4 inches of suspension movement which only 2" is needed with the Harley shocks Pretty stiff...I'm surprised how stiff Harley shocks are looks totally slammed but inside fender clearance is still more than enough...
