Hey guys,

Last night I put the rear shocks of the Burly slammer kit and I was wondering if I should replace the front springs too or not? I like it the way it is, but I don't know if it is best to slam both the rear and front end at the same time?

My bike is much lower now, that much that in my garage it sits almost upright...at least it seems it does. I wonder if I would have to replace the kick stand if I lower the front too.

Any advice is welcome

 

I have the same kit on mine and did not do the front.I think it looks good without it

 

I'm going to bump this up as I'm going to buy burly rear shocks and I am worried that it will not sit right on the the stand,
I'm in the uk and it gets windy some days and from what I have seen and heard the bikes stand more upright which scares me.
Any info on this please?

 

My bike is pretty slammed. My struts are 9 inches and I live how it sits. But it is def more upright. I knocked it over cleaning the wheels once.

 

As I said I only slammed the rear so far and been tho it is more upright when seating on the side stand, it is not dangerously too upright. I hope :-)

I still haven't made up my mind about slamming the front as well.

 

also in the uk,
just got the rear slammers on my 48, sit fine on the stand.
not sure if all sporties have the same length stand .

 

I went on and changed my stand

 

Changed to what?

 

i would do the front too, i rolled with mine with just the back dropped and didnt like the way it slopped from the front to back. the front took me like 10 minutes to do. and i just got a shorter kick stand from licks. you will be fine with the stock stand if you dont do the front. but if you drop the front, forget it. licks kick stands are an inch shorter and thats still almost not enough.

 

I got one from licks also .I think it is 11 in total now i'm not scared to park the bike anywhere even on slight hills.
