Instead of spending 100 bucks on a removable kit and then have to screww around with installing it, why not just unscrew three bolts and remove the engine guard and attached lowers as one unit. Then you can bolt on a HD mustache bar or a Lind? They look so much better and it is so easy. Or find a cheap HD factory guard on line. There is a guy selling one on one of these threads. He got a spare from the dealer and doesn't want it. JMO

Phatty, can you let us know how those new shocks are after you've had time to try them? I have been looking at Race Tech replacements.

My SG is all black and it looks like the one in the pics. With everything being all black a black engine guard look good as well.

Will do. I'm guessing their about the same as when i put them on my '05 SEEG...arguably better than stock, but I didn't have to mess with air pressures and I went lower..

But yes...I'll let you know how these worked out...

Also I agree on the quick release stuff...I put my stuff together AND mounted them up in under 20 minutes. Of course I've been doing the on and off thing with lowers for a while...

Yippeee...new shocks...!! I'll put these on in just a few...
