Burly Slammer Kit

Has anyone had success with the "Burly Slammer Kit"..?
http://www.cyclepartsforless.com/product/1310-0471

The HD Shop nearby sells the kit and installation for about 900.00 total.

Seems to drop the bike a bunch... but hows the ride..?

Thinking about Arnott, Legend or possibly this as an option to be installed on a 2013 SERK. Me and the Mrs are shorties...

Thanks for any feedback

Have you considered other options, I put an inexpensive lowering kit and it did the trick for my short legs and it rides just fine.

I have the burly slammer shocks on the rear of my 12 SG and love them. they ride best when 2up and turned all the way to the highest preload setting, but they're pretty harsh when it's just me. I'm 190lbs. I usually run them in the middle setting. don't know about the front kit, but if it's anything like the rear it's a stiff ride. I like the stiff ride but some would not like it much. I have heard that the front and rear combo makes for a VERY rough ride. looks good, but turns your touring bike into a bar hopper.
