Thanks, ElSupremo. That sounds like it might be the way to go for me.

I can't find the burnout cycles kit on J&P's website. As a matter of fact I don't see anyone having them. Any chance they have changed their name?

My last girlfriend lowered my scooter for me, just before I threw her out! She let all the air out of my tires with an ice pick...

Iv been looking for a good value myself. Hoping that somone will pipe up and say "Hey, these are GREAT, dont waste your bucks on the MOCO kit!" and It seems like this is exactly what Iv been looking for.

I think I read someplace that they have a preload which softens the ride a little versus just extending the shock which, from what I understand, stiffens up the rear end. You can find these on ebay for $100. I just happen to have found a set for $20 (but not chrome - which I don't care about) but it states that they are 2000 - 2006.

Those (progressive) are just extended bolts with progressive bushings...same as the $20.00 cheepo's. Pre-load is adjusted with a spanner wrench on the shock.... You should do a search and read. There are tons of threads on "how to adjust pre-load" on softail shocks.....good luck

I am looking at getting the burnout cycle kit too. Do I need a lift to install them, and how much of a pain are they to adjust?
