Lowering kit installed

Been keeping an eye on the lowering post for awhile now, and finally decided to try the lowering kit from Road 6 customs on e-bay. Installed it this evening and barely took 30 mins tops. I only needed about an inch to get me flat footed (5'8) so I stayed conservative and only used the first hole on the kit. After the install took bike for a spin down some roads near my house, some of which are not very smooth at all, and couldnt tell any difference in the ride with the kit on it. No bottoming out for me what so ever. This kit worked for me, got my feet where they needed to be, and saved me some coin along the way. Glad I didnt fork out almost 280.00 for the lowered HD shocks. I payed 33 dollars and some change shipped to my door in 3 days. Didnt take any pics cause visually there is not much difference with the kit installed. Just wanted to give my feed back on this kit to others that may be considering it.

I have seen the several threads about lowering kits on eBay. eBay is a pretty big site. Why is it that a link to the kit that they have found or purchased isn't posted? We have no idea what they are talking about. Just sayin...

Actually, I did the leg work for ya, here it is...

I think I'm gonna cut some scrap up and buy hardened bolts and weld a set together myself (one day).

I used the same kit on my ultra and like he said it only took about 30 min to put both sides on. It was a good investment for the price and it works great, cant even tell I have them on unless I tell ya I have them, plus the handling is still great with them on.
