Default Burlys Slammer kit

Is there any experience among you members about the "Burly Slammer kit" for Sportster.
Is it equal to Progressive Suspiension parts, I'm thinking 'bout the quality.

So, is the kit worth the money?

I dont have any real experience with them, but a buddy of mine has them on his sporty. He loves them, but says they ride like a dump truck. Hope you find the answers you are looking for.

I got them and you get what you pay for. They are better than stock but not by much and from my understanding don't come close to progressive. You want quality save up for progressive, I was looking at getting black shocks for cheap. So overall not bad but not all that great either.

i got them on a half off sale and love em. Bike sits a lower which looks better and the ride isnt worse than stock. Even with my girl on the back it never bottoms out and is fine.

Got'em on my 07 1200 Low and haven't had any problems. Tried the IAS Progressive 440's, 11 incher's but just couldn't get them dialed in properly. I'll tak four bills for them if you're in the market.
