They are some shady cats for sure!I bought my lowering bolts from them and they shipped in 24 hours. I would not buy anything more then the lowering kit from them and the kit itself is quality.

To answer the OP question... No you will be fine. If you want you can put your jiffy stand in a press and bend it some. This will allow your bike to lean over more like stock. You unmodified stock will be fine as long as the wheel is to the left.

Thanks very much. Yeah I had seen where they are crummy but the bolts are chrome which don't matter. The price was very good compared to others. Another question please. Will the belt need to be re-tentioned?
