No experience with them, but this table is a good reference for those considering lowering:
Drop Eye to Eye Length Travel Recommendation
Stock 12.75 2.75
1.0" 11.75 2.50 for 2up w/tour pac/trailer
1.5" 11.25 2.00 for 2up w/tour pac
2.0" 10.75 1.50 for 1up, occasional 2up
2.5" 10.25 1.00 Bar hopping or show
Yes that table is verry helpful. \\; I was looking at the 1.5" \\; I ride 2 up 50% and no tour pack but I was thinking that would compensate for our extra weight.
I've known Ron for a while now. He's a machinist who's been at the game for quite some time, although he just opened up \\;a new shop he's been doing this for about 4 years. Very smart, very creative.
 \\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;
He's raced and built drag bikes, race quads and a ton of other stuff. \\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;He's currently making a fork brace for me. I'd trust anything he did 100%.
 \\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;
 \\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;
Okay, i guess Ron's site is in the process of being updated for the new parts. Here's some shots of his "Bagger Brace". I guess it really smooths the ride out, but not having a bagger I don't have any idea about that. All I know is it looks cooler than **** and shows off his craftsmanship. \\;\\\\\\;
