Default Muller lowering kit

Hello all,
has anyone installed a Muller lowering kit on their motorcycle? And if you had, how much you like it or hated it?
thanks!

Will reduce ground clearance if you ever plan to go around a corner.

I made my own Muller type lowering for my FXBB and with the Big Radius from V&H the ground clearance it not that much anymore. It just depends on the exhaust type if you want to lower your bike, I only did 3/4 lower
and the the exhaust hits the ground when cornering at higher speeds.

Wow! Nice bike. The pipes look great, I like how the back fender looks as well. I am was thinking to lower it about 3/4. What did you use to lower the bike?

I'm very interested to know what part of the shock you have actually modified, can you give more details?

N°1 - I made to replace N°3 which is the stock part , N°2 - I made a bit shorter and cut a bit deeper thread, That's actually what you get if you buy a Muller set for a non adjustable shock.

Hi, I was looking at the Müller lowering kit just last night, very well made. I get what you’re saying about the Vance & Hines big radius though as having them fitted in a couple of weeks. Might have to rethink this.
