that is the best lookinf intake i have seen sort of daul carbed. That also is probally the best setup for the money. It hard to find Ness-tech pics I ve been looking for quite a while and cant find a picture of a bike with his front lowereing dampeners. I dont think i have saw those two into one, Just tried looking them up but downloading to slow. I have d&d fatcats big waste of money nice pipes i cant take a right with out them draggin. I plan on putting my street sweepers back on.

Guys, want to lower my 04 Deuce - does the Ness lowering kit require a press like the progressive does?

mine with 413's on the rear and progressives springs in the tubes. 1-1/2 rear 1 1/2 frt. ride is firm but not harsh by any means. They should ride like this stock.

thanx bro

install was easy
all i did was buy a $60 bike jack from harbor freight, jacked her up, pulled the shocks, threaded on the lowering kit, slammed the shocks back in and adjusted her to where i like it

Thanks very much,

George.

sure, i am a pro auto-wrench by trade so this stuff comes naturally to me

if you want it done, let me know

freehold huh? we should ride together come spring time

when i had it 1 and 3/4 inches down it felt stock, didnt even adjust my preload

now i slammed it all the way and yes ride did suffer a little but my 23 year young back can take it (for now atleast)
nice thing is, if you dont like the result your only out $100
hell if you dont like them you can prolly put them on ebay and get 75% of your money back

let me know if you need any help!
