KewlMetal I think also has some air ride stuff that raise/lower it with the push of a button.

How long did it take.

It took roughly an hour, once the bike was on the lift. The nuts on the main bolts were so tight we needed the impact wrench to loosen them, so we spent 15 minutes getting the compressor, extensions, sockets and air ratchet gathered up. After that it went smooth. It's like a new bike now.

I couldn't find a decent before pic of my bike, but here's a stocker.

Yep it look's lower. Since I lowered mind I've notice in a straight line bike goes better but when riding REAL SLOW it seems to over steer a bit more.

Wow, yeah it really does improve the look.

Shaved the beaver today, now just waiting on the new license plate mount and light.
