Well i got the kit installed finally, along with the AP stik guards. Ill start with the front of the bike it was the easiest part and took all of 10-15 minutes. Perfect! Then we got to the back. The most confusing thing to figure out. After two hours of messing with it we finally figured it out and got it on. Lifts the bike a nice amount. Im not even sure i want to install the Hl lift springs. God knows i tried to compress those springs and i couldnt. Ill have some pics up in an hour or so. Now i do have some questions. What do you think i should do? Return the HL springs, or keep them and put them on? Ive been reading on added stress on the bike with the HL springs AND a lift kit. Im pretty happy where im at now, but i usually have a rider with me (my g/f). Im running 27" 589's and plan to keep those for a while. What do you think? I really need some honest advice on this one...
