BlackPath - Fits Harley-Davidson 4" Lowering Kit Sportster 1200 + Sportster 883 + Dyna Motorcycle Rear Drop Rigid Struts (Black) Cold Rolled Steel

The BlackPath Lowering Kit is designed to fit Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200, Sportster 883, and Dyna motorcycles. The kit replaces the back shocks by bolting in their place. When choosing the length, tire to fender clearance must be Considered. The bars do not come with bolt threads, but these can be obtained from a local hardware store. The kit can fit any motorcycle if the right bolt thread pattern and length is obtained. Customers have reported varying experiences with the product. Some reviewers found these lowering struts to be well made, easy to install, and visually appealing. They feel that this kit is an inexpensive way to get a more rigid frame ride and secure the desired look without having to chop the existing frame of their bike. Additionally, the well-made struts and bolts should work as they are advertised. However, some customers have had issues with the product. Some found the diameter of the hole for the bolts to be too large on the struts, which caused some play once bolted up. It was also reported that the bars didn't lower the bike by the advertised 4 inches, and some trimmed the top shock bolts or installed slightly shorter bolts to fix this issue. Also, one strut's inner diameter was smaller than the other, which required customers to drill it out, potentially causing damage to the struts in transit. Others had to buy additional parts, such as 1-3 inch drop plates or shorter jiffy stands, to adjust its appearance properly for their motorcycle.
