Go for it man we all know that those ebay companys spend millions more on R and D than Harley does.
And after they do they can not wait to sell you their higher quialty product below cost.
while your at it stop by walmart and order some tires for your bike so when it buttoms out and screws them up you can tellus what a great deal you got on them tires.
So if itsnot made by harley its no good??? Please.........

Got into a "discussion" with a guy the other day....He thought nothing of putting a fram oilfilter on his new truck but had to have a harley filter on his bike.......ddduuuhhhhh......some people make no sence....

Not a whole lot of technology to do R&D on. It's just a heavy peice of metal with a few properly aligned holes in it. Metal fatique? Maybe if the bike is overloaded, but then the H-D parts may fail too. Sorta like dropping a lot of R&D bucks into zipper fobs. 8-)

there are front end lowering kits too. I only lowered the rear end of mine.
Before and after installation and set at the 2" setting.

Progressive makes a lowering kit for the front....with the option of a 1 or 2 inch drop...reasonably priced too....I plan on doing mine next winter.

Not too sure just how much R&D went into it though......
