Oh ya..and here was my day today....this is a long track 155 so when I say "buried" in snow I am not kidding.....bet this was a different view than most of you guys had today lol!
Cheers, and thanks again,
Randy

 

Just changed out mine for the 2nd time this weekend (bought some from cousin and they were for older softtail, axle wouldn't fit). Bought some new from dealer and went fine. Didn't have to take out spring, put new fork oil in. Getting to bolts behind headlight was a PITA.

Would rank it as a 2 or 3 on scale but looks awesome. Did it while wifey at work (she kept asking me why i needed them). When she got home she saw them and now wants me to do it on her deluxe LOL

 

Fatboy Brian, my apologies.

I stand corrected.

The lowers will unbolt without removing the springs.

It is a little messy but it will work.

No biggy, +1 on a messy job and that used fork oil smells pretty bad.
