Default Lowering kit for Dyna

I came across this lowering kit on ebay and was wondering if anyone has used this before and if you had any opinions on it. Looks like it changes the angle of the shock. Just seems like for the price it's a cheap mod if it works and is safe and doesn't change the ride comfort I might think about getting it. Thanks.

This question gets asked all the time, I just posted a long thread about this issue with pictures and every thing without so much as a response. Seems most people are tired of it. Let me just say this, lowering blocks work fine. I have them with no issues at all. Click on the link in my sig and you'll see a picture of my bike with them mounted and the front end dropped.

They're OK for what they are & they do change the angle! Obvioulsy it's better to lower by shock... like I said they're OK & they will work.

Hey noble.... pay no attention to him!!Listen..i had both the shocks and the blocks and the bike rides Much better with the stock shocks and blocks.I know of a couple other guys in here that changed to the blocks from the short shocks and love it.Short shocks decrease travel....blocks and stock shocks dont...think about it.
