The burly "Slammer" kit is brand new for the 06 and newer dynas so I don't think many have it installed - you may have to be the guinea pig and let the rest of us know how it works.
I do know it is VERY low - I think the rear shocks are 10 1/2" and the lowering springs drop 2" out of the front. Good price though - about $300 for both front and rear. I'd be interested to hear if anyone has installed it and if they had any clearance problems - also what is the quality of the rear shocks? for that price I'm thinking not so good.......

I received my Burly Slammer Kit this week. I plan to install it on Saturday. What I really found interesting....After reading the Burly instructions that came with the kit I googled harley lowering springs and eventually found myself on the Progressive website. Low and behold the instructions on the progressive site to install rear shocks and drop in lowering springs are exactly, I mean every word, every picture is the same as the instructions that came with my Burly kit. I am thinking it's Progressive product in the Burly box 
I will be sure to post pics after I install the kit this weekend.

prior to purchasing the kit I contacted Burly to see if they had any pics of the kit on a Fatbob. Nothing. Couldn't even find 'em anywhere on the net. I'm pretty stoked and think it'll look pretty cool.

I'm trying to do this without a proper bike lift. Actually I am going to use a regular automotive floor jack. I've got the rear shocks on but need a couple extra pairs of hands to do the front. My dad might come and help me tonight or tomorrow. Can't ride out here anyway. -3 and overcast. I did get a chance for a quick blast Saturday 2 weeks ago, later that night a snow storm rolled in. And the gravel on the roads this year is unbelievable. I need spring bad! I will post the pics as soon as I get it finished. Hopefully sooner than later.
