Default Burley Brand Slammer kit

I'm wondering if anyone is running this set up and what they think of it? I'm looking at the kit with the 10.5" (maybe 11") rear shocks and up to 2.5" drop in springs for fronk forks.

Like this one:

Anyone know if installation is as easy as they say? I've been to the Burley site and watched a youtube and it looks like a cinch.

Thanks,
Jason

I have the Clymers manual and will do the fork oil as well. I think I'm about to pick the slammer kit up off ebay and I just got me a side mount plate today.

Thanks,
Jason

will do, I have figured out how to get pics in my profile but, still haven't run across the way to post them in a thread. Anyone have a link? I'm sure there is a thread about it but, I haven't found it in my searches.

I picked one up off ebay last night w/shipping for less than $250, hopefully it will be here by the weekend.

Did you just leave the kick stand stock? I've been pondering if I need to spend the extra $$ to get a 1" lower kick stand as well.

Bike looks pimp man!

All you need to do is get a giffy/kickstand off of a hugger/low model, and all will be well. That's what I got when I went to the Lick's 10" shocks.

I’m running the Burly Slammer kit, took about 30 min to install and they ride good. I think they are good value for your money.
