Good lord that thing is a beast. Is that a airshifter on it

Yes, along many other custom parts and lightening

Voodoo industries sells a 2 inch lowering link, I lowered my 2015 tank removal not neccessary, I installed lowering link when I swapped out exhaust, with the catalytic converter removed it was accessible

I'm about to do the job as well with the same set up, do you have any details about how you did it ? Any help would be awesome. Thabk you

I installed a lowering link and didnt have to remove the tank.

all you need is a few universal joint sockets and bits.

the 1/4 drive work better since they are smaller overall.

this was about a 30 minute job.

I'd love yo know more as I am about to do the same job. No cat/aftermarket exaust on my bike . Thank you

Did you ever end up putting the lowering link on your bike?

I installed the lowering 2" kit 30K miles ago.

didnt remove seat or tank.

I jacked it up, used 1/4 drive tools and universal joints, and lock tight.

BUT, I did not get what I expected...the caster increase was excessive and impacted handling on steep long bridges during climbs.

So I had to lower the front an inch. then it was fine.

Sp I netted 1" , not sure it was worth the trouble.

I didn’t. After putting on the Corbin I ended being good with that.
