I love mine! Great stance, very secure, provide a big boost in handling, super easy to install, no molesting your stock a arms.

Just pull the ball joint and factory bolt out insert shim onto ball joint push into a arm and reattach with supplied longer bolt and go. You should check your toe measuments and adjust your tie rods to a slight toe in. Mines set at like 1/8" of toe in if I remember right.

Lil dab of Blue Lock Tight will do, When you tighten that bolt with 7/8 wrench its on tight, you want to be able to take that bolt out sometime down the road without needing a 125psi impact gun or 6ft cheater bar.

Here's a couple pics from my bike after installing the mod at Glamis this last weekend. After finally getting the bike running I have to say the mod does make a difference, especially when riding the bowls and cresting the razors. It holds the front in a straighter line instead of drifting down with the stock camber.
