PCS Lowering Connectors

Thanks MC, I did not try two up in the lower position so i cannot say for sure it would bottom out, just looked to be very little room between the fender and the upper chain guard so I was very leary, and i also saw the picture that seydel2001 posted showing his fender hit the guard, not sure if seydel2001 was using the lowering links or not, Maybe he can chime in here.

MC when you ride two up, what would you say is the weight you are carrying on the bike between you and your passenger? and have you stiffened the shock?

Combined weight around 340lbs and the spring is at medium adjustment. Could tighten some more if I had too. Had friend ride with me once combined around 400lbs no issues.

Thanks for the info..buying this soon.. 8)

Thanks MC, does the Stryker come at medium adjustment?

Mine did, but I think it may have just been adjusted to that by the dealer during initial assembly and adjustment. Not sure if all come that way or not.

Okay the force was with me and I got the connectors installed this afternoon. The instructions
that PCS include are pretty bad. So I took a fair number of pics and will post them with step
by step feedback tomorrow. Having the shop manual helped get an idea of what to do in
advance of starting. I only wanted to do a 1 inch drop to make up for SLS( short leg syndrome)
and it is now nice to have both feet firmly planted on the ground. No issues at all. Think my Suzuki
S50 is jealous though,,,,damned battery went dead.

Yo chubble, what's the story on the lobster??

I think these are on eBay for 49.99 free shipping

Rode from Pa to Maine last month. My son wanted his lobster to make the trip home on the back of the bike.

So these things are wel worth it for 49 bucks..

Well after hearing what MC had to say, I decided to lower mine back down to the 2 1/4 slot. Have now logged about 2 hours since lowering back down with absolutely no issues. Nicking my exhaust kinda scared me but i realized I was just going to fast for that hill. I Have now driven up that hill several times without incident. With me being 5'7" having it lowered two inches is like heaven. The bike really fits me like a glove now and the fender slammed down 2 inches just addes to that Bad*ss look. Really happy with this $49 dollar investment.

Ordering these very soon..how hard was the install?

I'll have to look into these once I get the bike together.

I have this same Kit and Love it. The 2 1/4 drop is great. I'm ordering the Progressive spring from them also can't wait to get that. Stock is 750 and the Progressive spring starts at 825lb and get stiff to 1250lb.

Didn't i see a picture that you posted showing the Fender hit your upper belt guard seydel2001? Can you tell us about that?

Ya the cobra Cover . That was with me a my wife on it and the tension setting on second to low and a FXXXXXX buckle in the road! about bucked my wife off. Now i know. Been good since i increased the setting. That Progressive spring will take care of all that and then i can set it soft again.
