    ChuckTx ain't gonna put them on anytime soon.
    He's had the brackets for a week and only has a couple holds drilled in the steel and all.
    They should of dun been welded and powercoated and on his bike.

    I want to know what they make it ride like.

    Well I guess its winter time too, ChuckTx has got to eat and hibernate some. :cool:

    installed them today.....piece of cake!!!!!!! if you notice, 3 holes. i used the closest to the "drum" and it lowered about 3/4 to 1 inch. the further out you go, the lower it sits. i believe you could go over 2 inches at the last hole, judging from what it lowered in the first hole. i starte to take pics, battery gave it up and i didnt feel like running for more batteries........i will take a pic of them installed tho...post later. it didnt effect the handling of the bike....just got my ass lower to the ground.........will test for a while and post results........
