So I have searched on this and to no avail. So don't jump on me yet. So I installed my mono tubes along with powder coating the lowers. Installed everything lowered so 3 clips per instructions. Install everything back lower the bike. Hold the front brake and push and it's as stiff as a rod... Is that normal? Didn't get a chance to test ride it and not too sure I want to chance it.

 

I have the mono tubes as well. Definitely much stiffer and I do not nose dive when hitting the front brake. But, if as you say "stiff as a rod" and there is no give, I would say something is wrong.

 

Yea. Basically I can see what seems to be about or less than an inch of give. I expected stiff but I really rocked on it and that was about all I got

 

just did the same to my bike two weeks ago, felt very stiff first time I pushed down on the bars. rolled it in my garage and pulled brakes and it gives a little, much less than stock. took it for a ride, WOW! no nose dive and it feels smooth as silk. I say take it for short spin.

 

That makes me feel a little better. Too late last night to put the last touches on it to get it out and at work for 24 hours today so tomorrow it is.

 

I thought 1 clip for soft sub 200lb rider, 2 for up to say 250 and three clips only if both riders are seriously overweight and riding two up all the time?

 

Per the instructions... It's automatically 3 clips for the 1 inch lowering. Then as I've seen in other threads you can adjust as needed.

 

You are talking about the lowering kit:

Alright.. So it's official. Completely psyched myself up over this whole thing. After about 100 miles riding on them I freaking love them. Yes stiff ride and you feel a little more but really even then it's not bad at all! I love these dang things!

 

How many c Clips did you use?
