Looks good, noticeably lower. How'd you find the install to go, and what was the time for it? Any chance to ride 2-up yet to see if she bottoms out w/ a passenger? Look great though, nice job and thanks for sharing.

easy, very simple only problem i had was my jack.. posted earlier, to get the bike to balance you almost have to put the jack where the shocks are and then it gets in the way but thats it.


yeah 2 up no problem, no bottom out or anything, but i only went half as low as that kit will go
and as far as rumors of poor handling or anything like that, i think if anything its atleast as good as before

Just finished installing the kit too. I'm not all that handy at wrenching on bikes and it only took me about 1.5 hrs. No pics yet. It really is as easy as he says. I was real impressed with the kit. Take the shock out. Screw the kit onto the end of the shock. Put the shock back in and tighten it to whatever height you want.
