I hit some pretty rough roads with them and they are still holding up.

For less than $20 I will give it a try. I did find some similar lowering bolts on JP Cycles and Dennis Kirk and they want $100 for them! That just seems like a rip off for two bolts so I will try the eBay ones and see how it goes.
They appear to be very good quality on the sale page and Ghost seems to like them so we shall see...
I will say though I think the ones Dennis Kirk has, which are White Brothers do not require removing the stock bolts and pressing the new ones in. I think they attach on but not completely sure. It wasnt very clear. Anyway, to save $80, I will press these in.

Well, actually non of them press in. You have to use a press or something similar to disassemble the shocks. Unscrew the stock bolts and screw the new bolts on then reassemble the shocks. It might seem a little intimidating at first but it's actually an easy job.

I spent a little time last night and this morning installing the lowering bolts on my 2011 Deluxe. The new look is a big improvement. I have decided too go with
1 3/4" lower as that seems the best place for me for now. This cheap mod will have too work until I can scrape up the bones for a Shotgun Shock. I don't know of any speed bumps or steep drives that I need to go up or over so it should be good. Now I just need to get those damn ugly *** reflectors off of the fender.

It is 1 3/4" lower than the stock Deluxe height. I have the preload tightened up so it has not bottomed out. I don't think the wheel can hit the fender because of a rubber bumper that will keep it from coming in contact with the fender. I am sure it is there as a safety feature if you were to have a shock failure.
