Lowering kits change the shock angle, not good IMO.
My bike had one on it when I got it, needless to say it isn't on there anymore.
It had the kit with lower shocks on it, didn't handle worth a crap , couldn't get on it in the curves at all...

Our kit has a unique design, which barely changes the shock angle, it instead drops the stock shock downward.

Right, but at that pricing ($105) a take off set of FLHX shocks can be purchased. If there is a price drop or special offer, you should let us know. BTW the link above this post leads top the lachoppers website and the $105 offer Mike

Looks exactly like TJ Products lowering block that I installed on mine 2 years ago. Hows yours different? TJ said theirs didn't change the angle either, but it did a little.

As far as I know theirs is aluminum and only fits through 2007. Ours is steel and works from 02 through current. In 08 we changed ours to fit because Harley switched to a flush mount rotor. Also, in looking at theirs installation is a lot more difficult because of the nylock nuts. Ours changes the shock angle ever so slightly, but does not impact fitment.

Thats a very nice looking kit and it does not appear to change the shock angle much at all just like you said.

Good job.
