Burly Brand Slammer Kit
Hi All,
Anyone used this to lower their bike? http://www.burlybrand.com/slammer/index.html
It seems too good to be true and you know what they say...
Thanks!

It definitely makes for a rougher ride. It's not that bad, I don't mind it at all and it's noticeably tighter in the twisties. The rear is adjustable and the spacer in the front tubes you cut to the length of your preference. I left the spacer out to get max drop which is about 2". I would imagine the ride would be softer if you left the spacer in.

the rear shocks just bolt on in place of your stockers; thery are very short though (10 1/2") so from what I can gather it really slams the rear end; you'll need to pull at least an inch and a half out of the front....as someone said the shocks and springs supplied in the kit are actually progressive suspension parts but being sold under the Burly brand (for quite a bit less I might add).

The drop(Shortening)
I dropped my softail with the Alen Ness kit, 3" and did nothing with the front, and she is a bit rough on the ride, but handles great, and never had any problems with the front.... You may just try the rear first and see what she does... I like mine this way cause it feels like my sled is taking me for a ride and not the other way around.....Feels like you got more bike in front of yah than under yah... Now I am not sure how this will apply to yours(Different rear suspension), but I imagine not much different...
