Also, when you lowered what did you use? Bolts or shocks or both ? I was thinking about lowering but have already crunched entering a gas station and not sure about going lower than stock.

The stock is pretty tight.

Status: offline 		first of all thanks to every one for the compliments on my bike, second , sorry for not responding, sooner shortly after posting the pic i left to go out of town and just got back.

deadduck and rebelwest  i used the bolt kit from arlen ness part # 17-100 also the relocating kit is going to be made up from two different companies, i am having to make a few mods to it before installing it. i did not like the fork mounts that is for the vrod, i really want everything to look clean and hid as much as possible and with that kit i would have to much wire exposed, so i am going to try this other route, i will post some pics when it is complete and let everyone know the part numbers, i think it is going to lokk awesome
wkenddad i have not noticed any difference at all on the angle
mike  the only part number i dont have is for the rear pegs, i will get it for you next week, i pick them up from a friend who is building a custom bike and they would not fit on his bike after he made a few changes.

i have done all the mods myself, except dyno tune. i have also learned alot on this forum. and i will do whatever i can to help anybody that is trying any of these mods

When you installed the Ness lowering bolts, did you need a press or any special tools?  How about giving us all some step-by-step instructions?

Thanks

Nice job BTW!

acorn on there.looks better than a hole

Status: offline 		turbo3pt3,  yes you will need a press during the install. i will post a step by step tonite when i have a few mins to type it up

goxley, i am not sure which map the tuner used, i do have it on a flash drive, and to be honest i have not looked at it since he tuned it, i can say this i have absolutley zero popping on decel or at any gear change and it seems to run awesome, i will be sending it to another forum member on here soon and let him view that is was done properly, also thanks for the compliment about the rear pegs, i think they look killer same contour as the frame plus all chrome, i will get that info for you tommorrow form the guy i got them from.

boone432 thanks for the words, i have been trying to post more pics and ran out of time trying to figure it out, a friend helped me with that one and i was so confused i said screw it just put it on there.
at first i lowered it as far as it would go, did a test run and it was like riding a rigid, i didnt feel like going thru kidney failure after riding awhile so i brought it back up a half inch, it dosent sound like alot but i have a pic where you can only put your index and middle finger between the rear seat and the fender it really drops it down

Status: offline 		ok friends i have had a few people ask about the rear pegs on my scooter, so her it goes, they are made by a company called Alloy Art their part # srp-1 you can also get them from drag specialties part # 1904-1029 they are on page 990 in the drag fat book also j&p cycles carry them part # 530-086. if you get them, the bolts that came with them are a little short (imo) so i got some chrome button head bolts that were a few threads longer to make sure and they bolt rite up. coolest pegs ive seen for these bikes, everybody ask where are the rear pegs and when you fold them down they say man i thought that was just another piece of chrome those are awesome.

rokher as for the trim rings the hd part # 69752-04 it comes with the smoked lens and the amber bulbs
