How do I install my lowering kit
Like the title says; how do I install my lowering kit? I purchased a lowering kit for my NT but it didn’t come with any instructions. I have the kit that looks like two bolts (for lack of a better word). I read somewhere that you have to take apart the shock and install them...Is that right? Is there a web site out there that has instructions?
Thanks,
CLL

RE: How do I install my lowering kit
I dropped my Fatboy using a lowering kit...the instructions on the previoous post sound about right. The only suggestion I can make is to measure from a point (rear fender) to the ground so that you know how much you are dropping it....most of the lowering kits are adjustable when it comes to the amount of drop.
Also, there are two bushings that are around a frame member...with the longer studs on the shocks they tend to come unseated. I used an extra nut to hold them against the frame.
Oh and one other problem I had was that I did not have a Hydraulic Press...but I made one out of 4x4's and an old Hydraulic car jack.... Looks silly, worked great! [&:]
Hope This Helps...
