There's been some inconsistencies with the factory trackbar location that means one has to apply some BFH to our bracket to get it up in. The factory bracket will spread some then when you install the bolts it will bring everything back into place. TeraFlex is going to update the design to make it a little easier for installation. Bumpstop extensions can be a bugger, but with a little grease and a floorjack they can pop right into place.

I love my ghetto bumpstops. So much so that i cant wait to take them out & return them to their home on the shelf. Where i can admire them.

*L*

I really dont dislike them, they where a good enough bandaid, now i want springs.

I had 0 problem install relocation bracket, the bolt just slides in..

As to the bumpstop, I used a 1/2'' racket extension, put it in between bumpstop and axle, then use floorjack, they pop right in place.

Some people have different suspension expectations. Maybe mine are higher than yours? Not sure. Im used to track cars, so i know what i want.
not really at all hard at all
tracbar sucked horrible squirrel nuts.

but the springs were a sinch

I do have to say though, im very happy with it.
Ive been driving throught eh typhoon tonight ( wife went out with some friends on base) and even in standing water, no probs with the BFG KM2s

Nice Buell! I knew I had seen it in another thread but couldn't remember which one. I might keep my Harley another 6-8 months then I'm gonna look at some Buells.
