After procrastinating for quite some time and being skeptical as to what the lift would do I bought them and installed them. Here is what I found:
The bike looks better
I did not find the steering to be any easier or harder
I did find it much easier to handle at high speeds as the front tire is definitely more planted and the bike is less skittish at higher speeds. My front brake seems to be more effective. There is no question the bike no longer reacts to my high speed micro movements and simply feels more stable on the highway.
The install was not difficult. The only trouble I had was I was unable to fit my torque wrench and socket in to tighten the bottom shock bolts so I guessed how tight I needed to make it. Did anybody else have this problem? Is there a solution to it?
All in all I am very please with the results and with the product itself.
