A while back I removed this kit due to it relocating the shocks toward the front of the bike a quarter of an inch. This relocation caused the lower shock bushings to explode because of all the pressure being applied to the front of the lower bushings instead of being applied evenly across the shock bushing.

This weekend at Alpine I found with the new 25 inch tall tires (which measure short at 24.5) that I needed additional ground clearance so last night I modified the kit so it would keep the shocks in a strait up and down fashion. By cutting one of the cross bars into three pieces and only using the outer two. I ground bevels on the outer two for them to clear the welds on the stock frame so they could lay smooth against the frame for additional support..

Here is what the kit originally looked like.
