go ness rear its adjustible and cheap about 50$ its wast to adjust to if you dont like the setting. But i highly recomend lowering the fron also. I went 2 inches each front and rear bike handles extremely nice now. I used white bros 2in lowering kit for the front

I went with wild chubbys rear, and was wondering about the front is it hard to install the front? Do you have to deal with the fork oil and the lowers or tripple trees? Just never messed with a front end to risky for me.

some say its pretty easy i just got mine done when i was on leave. i do alot of stuff myself but free time was an issue so i had a local shop do it i needed my new tires on anyway but i did the fluids myself and just about everything else you see on my bike i did myself or had freinds do it while i helped. I would say if you are comfortable with doing the job it should take about 3 to 3 1/2 hours to do because wou have to bleed brakes and raplace the fluids.
