I've had their kit on for years... quality stuff. They are the originaters of the collared lowering kit. The 2 inch drop will leave you with no travel and a fudged up spine.

lol...nope. It will look more like this. I put them on a Blackline last year. Work just fine while you save for Shotgun Shocks.

I lowered my Deluxe 2" in the front and 1.5" in the rear. For the front I used the progressive spring kit and for the rear I use the collard setup like softailloweringkit. I actually ordered mine from Dead Creek Cycles though. I will caution you, it really changes the ride. I need to soften the preload on it now, because over the weekend I hit a few bumps that really jarred my back..... Adjusting the preload should soften that up a little.

This was before I completely removed my rear fender and changed exhaust of course...but you get the idea.

that's a nice lookin cross bones! I'm afraid to go 1.5" drop..I drag in hard corners now on my slim an I have a decent curb to go over to get into my condo drive. I just want a little drop for better footing when I run the Corbin touring seat, it sits higher than the mustang I use around town.

Kit seems top quality.

Burnout Cycles Softail Lowering Kit. It's on my bike, it will allow up to 2.25" of lowering. No removal of shocks needed.

JP Cycle carries them. Part #http://www.jpcycles.com/product/700-210

Default Softail lowering kit ...

I did the www.softailowingkit.com. It is easy as hell (I can do the install in under 30 minutes). I've put them on and off a couple times now comparing the ride to stock. Not much difference to be honest. I ride solo, but I imagine two-up would be a different story. I do have to be careful with the right lean angle. The pipe will drag on occasion with the 1.5" drop.


Here are before and after shots (stock v 1.5" drop) ...
