Haha good luck with that. I don't do the credit thing. If I can't pay cash I don't buy it..that included buying the bike. Luckily I was recently deployed so 5 weeks of combat pay got me a new bike. I buy one new part every two weeks on average. No more than $200.00 per transaction. This is the only way I can prevent myself from doing everything at once. My buddy just told me this evening that I won't have any mods to do next year if I don't slow down...my response..."sell the stuff on eBay and start over...you are never done"!

Hey guys,
I said a while back I was going to install the Burly Slammer shocks and well today I finally did. I only installed the rear shocks. The Progressive fork kit is laying in the garage. I'll wait till a rainy or perhaps snowy day to tear the front end off. Here are some pics.
As for ride..it's awesome! I think it rides better than stock. The bike feels more solid going over bumps which I like. I rode it pretty hard on a bad road and it was very comfortable. The kickstand issue got me when I stopped to eat. I have a -1" replacement kick stand in the garage and I will have to install it. The bike sits upright a good bit and it was hard to get the kick stand down in the sloped parking lot. My concern went away when I got compliments on it.

I've been keeping an eye on those for a long time and They look great, on e-bay they're 168 + shipping, around 200, how much / where did you get them ?

I got them from American Classic Motors on eBay. I've been to their shop in person which is awesome and they are good about getting you the order on time....only if it is in stock...they are the cheapest for sure but you need to call and ask Joe if they are in stock. I originally ordered the shocks in April and they were back ordered with AMC. Next I ordered from Burly directly, for an extra $40.00, who tried to fill the order with J&P Cycles. I was willing to pay the money but then cancelled the order through Burly, called Joe, and reordered through AMC the day their stock arrived. It was a wait but it was worth it!

I paid $166.95 shipped to my door with AMC. When buying Black Burly Slammer shocks you have to buy the progressive spring kit separate. I picked the spring kit up for $80.00 on eBay.
