I'm getting ready to do the same thing. But I am tempted to buy a set for my Rocker off of JP Cycles that allow you to lower it without having to take the rear shocks apart, which folks on this good site have mentioned is a bit of a pain. They cost 95 bucks, so about 60 bucks extra. Ride safe and stay cool!

Never heard of anybody having issues with them. I bought the ones for around $18 off eBay, but ended up biting the bullet for a Shotgun, so w/o ever installing them, I went ahead I gave the bolts away to a member on here.

I bought this set here and have not had any issues with them at all after riding over some very rough roads.
