Anyone just upgrade rear from stock to this item or a sm peep (eg TSR100)? How much would FS need adjust. for higher RS? (FORS)

They don't work right and they do not look like the picture. Unless you like to tinker with things I wouldn't recommend them.

I use the rear peep on mine. And I have not noticed much adjustment if any is needed.

The HP gains are minimal with just the intake. It sounds a little tougher, runs a little smoother. Once you get started on the MODS you put something on you need something to compliment it for it to work. This intake brings a lot more air in so you will need an upgrade in the exhaust, stock pipes won't let as much out. If you have updated your exhaust you will see up to 20 ponies added! Will also make you sound like a true muscle car. I did both on my RT and very happy but not satisfied. Now have the next upgrade to compliment these two upgrades! Hope that helps. Good luck. Have fun

I would definitely get a sye. Then you can just use a front XJ drive shaft for the rear. I used the hack n tap style sye and picked up a used front drive shaft from the junk yard. I've been wheeling it for about a year now with no vibes or problems. Ideally I would have used a new drive shaft and rebuilt my transfer case with a sye but I couldn't justify the extra money.

Hi,I'd go to Blackburn's website to get the most accurate information. Also, I had to convert to a quick release on my rear wheel (for me it was easier than I thought).

Hey Will, just wondering if you bought this bike and successfully put 32's on the bike? I just saw my friends tires and 23's are way too skinny! Not to mention I'd bet you'd feel EVERY piece of dirt. I'd like to know before I commit.

John,the STS model you are already sitting straighter.Why would you want to put risers on it?I don't believe there was any changes to the handle bars in size. It's just how high they sit.I do believe there would not be any problem with fit.Have fun riding!

Buy the rustler rear arms, they're cheap and install them to your Bandit. It looks cool and has better handling. These driveshafts will fit perfectly.

Front Shock. Rears are different. Use the Look Up Make and Model, will help. Cheers. Ken.

Your fender is likely to be the only area of concern. I had a 97 RK and it worked fine. I bought a 13 StreetGlide and the gate that flips up in the back was RFC to the fender. I took off the gate and it works perfect. When you load the bike for tie down best to have a helper set the front straps. If you let it lean over and get off to do it yourself you will as a minimum mar your rotors or spring? bend? one as a possibility. I mounted the thing on a sheet of 1" plywood, pulled my p/u 5th wheel hitch out, notched the ply so I could strap right to the 5th wheel rails left in the bed. Works perfectly. Can send a pix if you like. Best value I have seen in this kind of wheel chock Your fender is likely to be the only area of concern. I had a 97 RK and it worked fine.

The ride feels the same as stock. If you just add this lift and no additional lift you will not need to add anything else. I added 245/75/16 tires work great no rub and still fit in well for spare.

I agree with redknight that ride quality will be reduced though shock extension is not an issue as the upper bump stop will limit travel. Each spacer will lift "lift" the suspension by a 2:1 ratio since the spring perch and tire contact patch are in that ratio but only by the amount that the spring coil spacing is increased. When I installed the spring spacers the coil spacing was approximately 3/4". With the spacer the turn to turn spacing increased to the expected 1" but the net change is only 1/4" so a 1" spacer yields only a 1/2" ride height change. In my case I removed the rubber spacers and installed a steel spacer between the spring and its upper seat in the frame. This provides a predictable change. If the spacer increases the springs effective length by 1", you will get 2" change in ride height. Remember you will need to adjust camber and toe in with any change.

Betty, I agree with the others no adjustments necessary mine works great, the only thing that I have noticed is that the rear cylinder runs a little rich I can tell by the black build up on my muffler tip, my bike runs great.

Keith I just installed the rancho quick lift set up on my 04. Rs999921 and 999937. Different part numbers for each side. Pretty happy with them so far. Lifted the front up about an inch and a half over stock.

Looks like stock is 11". Don't know why they say it will not fit. Have had Progressive shocks over the years and was never impressed with them. The new sportsters do not have enough travel for a good ride. Set one up a couple of years ago with 13" shocks and the longer fork travel. Was a nice set up. Check the Forums out for good info and feedback. http://www.hdforums.com/forum/sportster-models/740432-48-rear-suspension-travel.html

Same as the other guy, I have A2 front and rear MBUS and no need for any riser. Perfect as is.

If you run stock shackles you should be close. I ended up getting a longer rear shaft to be on the safe side.

I have these on my Rustler VXL. I have never had a problem with them. But they are too long for the stock Bandit rear arms but no one said you can't buy rear arms that will work with these driveshafts. Install Rustler or Stampede rear arms.
