took the plunge and ordered the lowering kit from burnout cycles

let me say i am very impressed

it was very easy to install

took me maybe an hour, thats only because my dumb *** had to keep repositioning my bike lift to get the shocks out
pulled out the stock shocks with 6k miles on them and installed the spacers
put the shocks back in and then adjusted them to my liking
didnt measure it yet but a good guesstimate is that i went down 1 and 3/4 inches
just put it down low enough in the rear to give it a good stance

put about 150 miles on it since the install (hiway and around town)
bike DOES NOT bottom out (yes even with the massive potholes we have in new joisey)
it actually feels like it steers a hair bit quicker doing tight turns at lower speeds

on the hiway and through the twisties it feels like handling was virtually unaffected, feels like it may have even improved a hair (maybe i am just crazy)

i will try to get some pics tomorow when i get home from work

the downside? havent experienced any yet so i guess time will tell

so a big thank you goes out to jeff at burnout as i am a happy customer

Are you going to do the front as well or just the back?

 

I have a set of burnout cycle lowering kit but I haven't installed it yet. Glad to know it works as stated. Planing to lower the rear by an inch. Thanks for the info.

 

just doing the rear, i love the raked out look

thanx guys, now i just need to save some more money up and get my big radius pipes, solo seat and maybe a different tank to put the 100th anny one away for safe keeping

 

I like the pipes you have on now.
What are they?

 

v&h straightshots, they have a few small scratches on them though cuz i got a little close to a curb one day
