Contemplating lowering the Bob a little. Seems like the 412s get mixed reviews so I was wondering how/if the lowering kits change the ride...? And I'm assuming it's an easy install? Thanks.

 

I’m running Burly Brand slammer kit….. Front and rear very happy with the kit rides a little hard, took about 30 minutes to on stall the front and back.

 

Hey i run the drop in progressives in the front and the lowering blocks in the rear.The front is dropped 2"and the rear 1".The ride is excellent and ive never bottomed out even with my wife on back,,,The front springs were 120.00 and the rear blocks were 55.00.

 

Any you guys had problems with high speed front end wobble since lowering your bike? I'm having a hell of a time, checked the air in the front tire first, then the spokes and checked to see if the wheel was true, even took off the true track and still have a problem. I"m going to check the rake and trail this week then start over again with the tire, wheel and bearings. I like the lowered look and hope that an easy answer will be found.

 

No...nothing james...all is good...had a friend that lowered his and forgot to tighten the top triple tree clamps...not to sound stupid...but boy did it wobble!

 

If you are planning on getting lowering blocks i would definitely go with Tamarack machine works. I have a 2005 Superglide with low rider shocks and 2 inch lowering blocks on them and they work great. Awesome quality product and a few different lowering heights to choose from. No scraping, rubbing, or anything like that at all... definitely worth it. Installation... a peice of cake. Took me maybe 30 minutes tops and does wonders for the look of the bike. As far as the ride, it didn't effect it much. No front end wobble or anything. I haven't lowered the front, so i cant say much about that.
