Yes. Very easy to install compared to others and makes the bike sit right. They also send you both sizes so you can play with the stance a little of you want.

Honestly I didn't notice any difference after I installed. I have had a few good jarring bumps but pretty sure that would be on any bike.

My wife doesn't ride so I don't have to worry with bottoming out either. Not sure how it would be 2 up.

I used the bigger collars. I think it was approx 2". Never measured pre-install.

Best thing I've done so far was the big bore kit. Took it from 67 to 100 hp. Oh and the swing arm bag. I don't like the looks of full bags on a softy so these work well for carrying small things. Holds a sixer of tall boys like a champ.

I think I got it off of Amazon. It's the leather works XL 312 bag. It's a little thicker than the standard one.
