Here's a link to a similar lowering kit made by LA Choppers. The site has install instructions so you can see what your'e in for and what tools you'll need.

one guy could do it - carefully. I used a regular old floor jack and had the other guy kind of
balance it. When we finally let the jack down we couldn't get the bike off it. Had to raise it
again and put a 2x under the tire the let jack down and roll the tire off it.

someone else asked about the price - I paid 68.95 with free 3 day shipping on ebay.

Ive used those lowering blocks on my last two bikes The first bike i did just the rear shocks On this bike i didnt like the "feel" and the clutch seemed to be dragging like maybe just enough primary oil moved back towards the clutch to make it not disengage as well as it was Fixed both issues by sliding the forks up 1" in the tripple clamps

We sell alot of the LA Choppers kits where I work, and I swear It takes longer to get the bike on the lift than it does to install the kit!
