Default 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!

Yep, used it on my Fat Bob. Easy to install and very happy with the results. In fact the components in the box are actually Progressive brand.

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.

10-4

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).

Default 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...
