Add me too the list of interested hahah. What i have seen from searching is they tend too be stiff and bottom out alot with 2up riding.

We put one on my wife's new Nightster. Seems really nice. It didn't drop us as far as we thought. After some research on here it seems that the nightster already has shorter rear shocks and HD lowering springs in front (I can't confirm, just what someone posted).

Quality is very nice and it did drop us another inch or so. Was easy to put in also.

We dont do any 2-up since this is her bike and I have my Softail. Also our first Sporty, so cant really confirm a before and after.

ANY lowering kit(except maybe air ride) is going to be a little stiffer. Less travel=stiffer, but we didn't notice it. Again though, if the nightster is already "lowered" from HD, it wouldnt have been a dramatic difference for us.

review may not be too helpful to y'all, but I give it 2 thumbs up.
