Finally got around to notching the Harley. Didn't want to lower it anymore, just wanted back some travel since bikes go back there every other weekend. Held off for awhile because cutting into a perfectly good frame is nerve racking lol. Rear is dropped 5" with 3" shackles, 2" hangers, BT c notch kit, BT drop shocks and extenders. Also notched the underside of bed to clear the diff. Before notch had no more than 2" of travel. Now around 5" till bumps.

Did you also weld-in the new plates?
Not yet, need to find someone who can come out and weld it because bed will be off

How do you like those belltech street performance shocks?
Only had them for about a week so cant tell you a whole lot yet. But yah def no complaints though.

Wait you sold your cobra?! Nice HD btw!
Thanks! Yep sold it to a guy (now good buddy) a couple hours away in Hanford. Hes taking super good care of her! I've always wanted a SY 04 so decided to let the 01 go :(

Looks good. I did this to an 02 I had. I found no negative side effects. Actually rode so much better because the frame wasn't bottoming out on the axle. Find some 22" reps and you'll be set
