Default JP Cycles lowering kit

Has anyone installed the 700-210 kit for lowering the rear? JP claims that no shock removal is required. Was it difficult and how do you guys like the end result?
Thanks.

i have used this kit in the past....it requires removel of the shock, you dont have to dissasemble the shock as you do on other kits.....it is easy enough to use....just remove shock and screw the new parts in, bit of a ball ache to put back together but hey its the winter, what else is there to do!
