Lowered 2"

I ordered the same drop links as others on this forum. I figured this should last until I decide to go with a wider tire, then I will get the lowering kit. Anyway, very very easy install took about 30 minutes and I do love how the bike sits now.

PCS Stryker Adjustable Lowering Kit
PCS Designed for your Stryker to provide a 1" lower and a 2 1/4" below stock settings.
Gives your bike a tough lowered look, eases handling and lowers the center of gravity for better handling and control.
Easy to adjust between settings. Lowering kit adjusts in seconds unlike other "adjustable" kits which require 20 minutes or more.
Does Not soften or stiffen your rear spring rate like kits sold by other manufacturers.
The kit easily installs with a few basic tools
Comes with complete simple instructions


Could you post the link for your kit please>
I went to their website and looked at the ones you are talking about. I am sure they are similar, but I really can't say if they are the same. The ones that I bought, had 3 seperate adjustments: Stock , 1" and 2".

Did you half to remove the collant over flow bottle to install ? thanks.
Nope, I was able to pry the down tank about 1/4" down and slide the bolt out.

That looks really nice! Does it change how it rides at all?
It feels a little bit better in corners and scraping the pegs a little easier, but other than that everything else feels the same.

Really want this mod, but if it scrapes pegs more I may be in trouble....headed to tail of the dragon next week, maybe after that
It isn't that bad, really. I just can't dive into the corners anymore...lol. If this helps I have no regrets about lowering the bike.
WLFPAK -- Sorry man, I am still running the factory tire. I have been thinking though, what is gonna happens when I do decide to get the new tire. I guess I am going to cross that bridge when I get to it. But if you do find anything out, post it up.
