Default Loving the crossbones!!!!!! And a Question

Greetings from Nashville,TN. I have been lurking and getting some awesome ideas for upgrades on my bones. Its a Vivid black 2011. It already has pipes, a power commander, and a brawler seat. I want to lower it about 2 inches. The brawler seat did wonders but I like the look of a fender hugging the back tire as well. Im 5'6'' so it can only help. My question is how long should it really take a stealership to put on the jp cycles burn out kit? Assuming they will even do it at all. thanks again
-matt

I wouldn't let a dealer do that kit. Too easy to do yourself or find a partner to help you out. The dealer will rob you for installing that kit!

Nah bro what you need to do is get an air ride set up so you get a quality ride and the option to slam the bike when you want.

Congrats on the new Bones! Definitely one of the best looking models from HD! I can't help you with any advice about the burn-out kit, but others here with more experience most certainly can. Post pics when you get the chance!

I've never let a dealer work on mine. Ride the thing for a bit before you start modding the thing. You may change your mind about what mods to do. Or at least the order they get done. Air ride is a great way to go. You can get the look you want when ya want it. And the better ride when ya need that. You drop it another 2 inches and you've basicly got a hardtail. And you've taken HDs worst handling bike and made it more so.
