got it on my scoot front suspension was left stock to give it that raised up front look with out raising the front up. it rides good the only thing is if your an agresive rider you will drag pegs and sometimes exhaust in thoose OH $H!T i came into this turn way to fast moments. hahha but i like it i think it rides as good as stock maybe better its just a little sitffer than stock but i thought the other was to cadilac plush.

Yeah, I lowered my bike with that kit. The ride is not bad...but you'll start dragging parts. The kick stand needs the tab mod because it's going to keep the bike too upright. Oh yeah and my favorite, I have problems getting my jack under the bike. It's easy if you have some one to slide the jack under it while I lift the front end up.....so yeah.
Other than that, I love the looks, feel, and ride of them.

I have a 2015 dyna switchback. I bought a different seat but still may need to lower her a bit. Anyone know if the burley lower kits which are under $100 work? Some Harley dealers saying no they break its best to spend to buy the progressive shocks $700++

If you are talking about the lowering blocks,, I personally would go with the Burley shocks,, the are made by progressive,, looks like a little less than 200 bucks for your model,,,, Also, I have not heard of a good quality lowering block breaking,,, maybe a cheaper set might,,, I would think Burley makes a good set
