Had them, they worked great and easy to install. I was running 3 turns on the cans though to keep off the bump stops and I'm 190lbs. Sold mine to Spoonie when I upgraded to the Shotgun.

Bolts are cheaper, and you can adjust how low you want your bike to go. Me, at 240 lbs, probably only going to go down about an inch. First, must liberate some cash.

Interesting thought. No reason they wouldn't work. Probably give you another 2"! Be a damn hard ride though. Probably put you right on the stops.

Hey, Man. Meant to post and thank you for the deal and kit, but I've been so busy riding I haven't had time. Thanks again.

Glad they worked out for you and were easy to install. They are worth the extra cost over lowering bolts.
