HELP...Lowering kit issues
So I put a lowering kit on my 04 Heritage and now it has a rocking feeling, kind of like when your pulling a camper trailer, any ideas on why this is happining and how can I fix this? The kit is from arleness and just bolts on to the stock shocks.

On my bolts there are nuts on the front and back of the frame plate where you can adjust the hieght. Do you have the inside nuts tight up against the frame plate? sounds like there may be some play causing movement.

did you get the touring style or the leather that ties on lowers?
only thing I'd think is it has done is completely change your Aerodynamics of your bike causing it to react differentyl.

skullman77- Could it be that you are bouncing off the bumpstops, and this is giving you the jerky feeling? How much did you lower the bike?

I went a little lower than 2" and I still have a bit of room before it hits bump stops. Sounds like something isnt right.
