Softail lowering kit
I've ordered one of these kits: -

Anyone got any experience of this kit. I like the fact I don't need Arnie to pop round to depress the shocks to fit it!
Also does lowering a Softail 2" make much difference to the ride?
Thanks

Not a great endorsement.....how is the handling on a non-perfect road?

The ride is fine. I never ride two up but from what I've read on here it's rough with two people onboard. If you ride two up a lot you'd be better off looking into progressive 422's or a shotgun setup

You lower any softail 2 inches and it will bottom out way to often.go 1 before you go 2 and see if it suits you first.

I had the 1.5 kit on mine and it was okay for solo riding. But for two up riding the bike would bottom out a lot. If you want to take the time to adjust your preload before and after two up riding have at it. Other wise I would suggest either the Shotgun Shock or the Progressive 422 Rap's.

This is a cheap way to achieve a look. If you are looking for performance and ride comfort, you need to consider the shock. As mentioned above, SS or 422's will get you the height without sacrificing the ride.
