Either the swingarm mount like I have or the axle mount made for the Rocker.

doggin it

Trust me brother, the second you finish mounting the kit, you're gonna realize what I'm telling you. The fender will be at LEAST 3" off the tire. It looks ridiculous. You HAVE to lower the bike. No two ways about it. While you're waiting for that HL kit to arrive, decide what you're going to do lowering-wise. I had the bolts for a while, but the ride SUCKED. I just went to the Progressive 422's and while it's not a Cadillac-type ride, it IS improved.

JY Kelly, thanks I will look into the 422s. I like the adjustable height of the Shotguns but am a little leary about an air shock

The Shotgun Shock, if you have the means, really is the way to go. The 422's are a decent stopgap measure. Most certainly an improvement over lowering bolts- trust me. I am speaking from pure experience.

When station in SoCal, I was able to have met and done business with all of them, all were great. After having done business with Drew (Dr. V-Twin) for Shotgun Shocks, and now stationed in NC, my future purchases will continue to be through him.
