Sorry Z to jack your thread bud.
How has the 2.5" been working for you? Giving up much in lean angle or comfort when you're stopped?

Dc

Love the 2.5" drop. Nothing to compare it to though as it was done before I got it. Looks insane in person. Lean angles are less but I have not got it to hit yet.

Very Nice Train. I have an 08 myself. I wish your pics were a bit larger as well.

Hey Guys, I've been gone for a bit so wasnt able to answer your questions.
I used just the lowering bolt for a 1" drop. It can be a bit of a rough ride on bumpy roads, but not rigid level yet. Ha. The seat is what came with the Heartland kit. I find it VERY comfortable. Much better than the LePera bare bones that I had on my Dyna. And sorry about the size of the pics. Im not a computer guy, hell, I barely figured out how to post the ones that I have on here.
One mod that I did that im most happy with is the tank. I added filler to cover up that crappy weld line, which allowed me to ditch that cheap plastic POS tank cover.
