RE: Lowering 08 NT Ft and Rr help
I did the rear shocks with a friend of mine in his garage. Bullshittin and drinkin a couple of beers and we had it done in 4 hours. I would think a professional shop would be able to do the rear in an hour and a half. Two tops. I just got a quote from a Harley Dealership in San Antonio a couple of day's ago to lower the front of mine for $225 (I already have the front lowering kit.) sounds like your getting hosed! Michael

here's some good tech help for the rear bolt kit.... http://fatbillscustoms.com/ (I put the HD lowering shocks on myself, a beyotch to get the nut to break loose, they use loctite when they install them via dealer...)
if you find info on the front springs, let me know via PM...
I have a set of progressive springs sitting in the shed....
I started the install, but got dumbfounded when I relized how much tear down I was getting into...
oh...and take plenty of tuturial pics for reference....
thanks,
