how this would affect the ride of a 2007 Dyna FXD.

Default spacer

the kit comes with a 3inch long piece of pvc pipe you have to cut it down to 1 inch for the 1inch drop. i was a little confused on this as well when i did it but i didnt exactly the way the video showed. i put in 1 inch spacers the tech guy at progressive told me that was right anyway.
