HOGWORKZ® Adjustable Lowering Kit for Harley® Touring '02-'16 (Air Shocks)

Built to last, HOGWORKZ® lowering kits are laser cut from 1045 carbon steel. See how easy it is to lower your Harley® 1", 2", or 3" inches to achieve a superb slammed stance. Lowered baggers look better, and are easier on the legs. Lowering links are a cinch to install; attaches to existing shock/strut mounts.
