burly suspension on a road king ?
i have recently purchased the slammer set up (burly) with the 2inch lowering and was wondering if anyone else has fitted one to a road king classic and how does it stack up from stock please ?
many thanks

lol i would recomend the top or second to top setting on the shocks.. they will break in very quickly.. i've put about 500 miles on mine and actually moved it up to the second to top setting.. they have gotten much softer..
just keep in mind.. we're talking about a 10.5 inch shock so me saying its soft is very subjective lol

I swapped my 13" air shocks for 11" Bitchen Bagger Drop Shocks . The bike stood up to straight on the kickstand so i got a kickstand wedge kit from Dennis Kirk made buy Drag Specialtys . it changes the angle of the kick stand . cheaper than a shorter kick stand .
while your installing it you can raise your floor boards .

you really can't tell in the pics.. theres nothing to compare it to.. heres a shot of it.. crappy cell phone pick.. you can notice the drop in the forks (where it falls on the fender) and the amount of rear tire showing.. compared to my sig pic.. i would def go with the top setting adjusted it and it handles the curves much better... over all this is a decent kit but for 200 bucks you do get what you pay for
