I like my 422's but as low as yours look if you weigh about 125 you should be fine. At 200, 1.25" lower is my max.

oops ! sorry, lol, had bolts for over a year, did the job lowering but rough ride on the back!
RODZILLA6, yes straightforward,hardest part undoing rear bolts,i didnt have a bike lift so used a trolley jack and put concrete building block and a bit of 4x4" up front and axle stand at the back
the ride seems better, havent taken it for a descent run and seems better,i may bring it up a little,i still have some fine tuning with the preload setting!

Golfblue i am 105kg, thats around 231 lb i think

thanks guys

Were you able to get a torque wrench on 2 front flange bolts, or did you just tighten them up by feel?

I installed 422's on my FXSTC today, and I couldn't get a deep socket & torque wrench on the flange nuts because the case was in the way.

Thanks
