These things are made to last, heavy duty, and excellent craftmanship. Bought them for my 79 ironhead even though they dont fit and I KNEW this before i ordered them but i wanted the look and with a little modification, They made'er look like a bad motherfucker.

Bolt on with no issues for my 2001 1200 custom. Looks clean and mean. Lowered my seat hight by 3 plus inches! Looks bitch'n! Bit of a rough ride, but that's to be expected.

Good quality product, to bolt flush to rear frame, must grind down rear strut trim around top mounting bolt. Very minimal with a grinder. Without grinding this you won't get tight to frame.....After that just bolts right up. Just remember do one at a time or you will have to find a quick way to jack up rear of bike to get on........I would recommend product to someone!

If your looking for a kick ass look with a hard ass ride go for it.

Bought these for my '03 Triumph Speedmaster. They fit great and give about a 2" drop in the rear once you drill out the eyelets to fit the stock shock mounts on Triumphs (14mm vs 12.7mm).

So I am going to start this out by admitting that my tool box is still pretty limited and my mechanical skills are pretty elementary, but I am working on both.

The struts went on my Sportster and the only modifying I had to do was to bend out the metal on the rear fender mount with a thick cloth and a pair of pliers until the strut mount fit and the bolt lined up with the threads. No big deal.

If you are hesitating on getting these because you aren't sure you will be able to do this yourself, you will. If you are hesitating on getting these because you aren't sure how it will ride, it will be rough, but it will make your bike look a thousand times better.

I had to slightly modify my lower shock mount to get the struts to fit. Only took an hour or so. Great product!
