Well, I'm sure I've seen it somewhere.
I haven't updated my profile. I used to live in PSL. NOw I'm in the Jupiter area.

Looks like it needs to come off with the LA Chopper kit.

If I recall correctly ("IIRC") yes, you need to remove the pipes. Its no big deal to do that, but please purchase 2 new crush gaskets for the pipes when you re-install them.

You also need a secure lift for the bike, but that goes without saying doesn't it?

Also, it can be a real pain in the a$$ to remove and then re-install the link - it only seems to go up into the frame one way - and it is a bit aggravating trying to do it. Make sure the bearings are well greased when you put it all back together. My bike, being a 2012, does not have the grease fittings on the rear suspension so it is best to get enough grease in the bearings while it is all apart.

My mechanic just installed me a Baron rear lowering kit (on a Vulcan 900 Classic 2012). He had to remove the exhaust for this. Check also the instructions on their website:

Hope this helps.

Thanks everybody for your input. I guess I'm buying a couple of washers and get it done.
Thanks again!!

What brand lowering kit is everyone using. I am going to buy one soon and was wondering what everyone's opinions were.

See other "lowering" thread - I used Barons.
