i am wanting to lower my 09 crossbones a couple inches in the rear end. Do i need a lowering kit or can it be simply adjusted??
thanks Dan...

 

you need a lowering kit. get a $25 kit off ebay. its longer bolts for the end of the shocks. if you drop the bike off at a local indy it shop should run you 100-160 for install. i pulled the shocks myself and had the bolts pressed in for 40. bike looks dramatically different.

 

thanks jcmer22.
much appreciated

 

If you lower the rear you will want to lower the front. If not it will look like your bikes launching high in the front low in the rear. Arlen ness makes a kit that comes with everything you need and its the cheapest way to go as far as lowering the whole bike.

 

Several of us have lowered our Bones without lowering the front and think it looks fine. I too used the bolt kit.
