A couple questions for you
1. Does the burley slammer kit lower the front and back of the bike?
2. How does it ride now compared to stock?
3. How would it be riding witha passenger?
4. whn you slam it, do the frame rails get lower, making the bike lower to the ground?

I bought a CC speedo bracket then drill and tapped two holes into the top tree and bolted the bracket to the tree with a 1" spacer under the bracket.

2. the ride is a little stiff
3. dont know how it rides with a passenger. I have never riden a passenger
4. The frame rails are about 2-2.5" lower to the ground than stock after the kit was installed.
