Looks a lot like the Burnout Cycles lowering kit. I had bought a set off someone on here (I believe) and installed it on the set of shocks I had laying around. I ended up giving the shocks to a buddy who really needed to lower his bike. Nice equipment, but it won't lower the bike as much as the studs.

The OP kit is fine..but it won't lower you as much as they say, at least not in my experience.

If you are looking to lower the bike a little bit, they are fine. If you want to slam it then you need the studs or an Air Ride.

I would go with the studs, the cheapest and the best for what you want to do. Not hard to install. If you don't have a press then have a indy do it.

I had the dealer install the kit and was charged 1.5 hours of labor.
