Simplified install.
HHI Trees lenghten the existing tubes by about 2". So you remove the existing fork tubes and remove the top caps and install these 2" plugs in there place. The trees come with new bearings and you install as new trees set the pre load etc. The locking hardware is all hidden. So on the plugs are threads they screw into the top tree. Then you install a hidden clamp on the lower tree that tightens and keeps the fork tube tight. You wil need a tube of anti sieze for some parts of the install. The 08-09 don't need an additional fork stiop. Its built into the trees. You also get longer cow bells. The directions where pretty good.
I also lowered my rear by 1" to make up for the front be a little lower now. The draw back is slow driving like in a parking lot is a little tougher other wise no problems
