First off thanks for taking the time to take pics and then posting instructions. The bike looks amazing and I think you just sold me on doing this mod to my bike. I think Tony has found the must do mod to the bike...the L&M spring is nice but this one makes much more of a difference. Thanks again. Look forward to your next project b/c doing mods to the bike never ends.
Tony's Mod - Lowered my Fury 2"
Lowered my Fury 2"+
So I finally got around to lowering my bike and it came out great thanks to Tony. This is probably the greatest mod to date here on the forum. It took about 2 hours and the help of my wifes dad who Tig welded the frame back together. After following the directions from Tony it was complete, a little over 2 inches of drop and a rear end worth bragging about. I added a few things to Tony's mod and I'm sure it will help you guy's out when you decide to take this on.
First- I extended the seats 2 front grab fingers with 3/4" tubed steal by 1". Without this the fingers only had less than a 1/4" of grab (see pic's)

Second- I added 2, 1/2" compression bolts under the seat where the front of the fender's plastic rivets set into the frame. Reason for this is after you bend the struts down and weld, the fender is left with a gap about 1/2" from the frame (see pic)

I'm very pleased with the outcome but really need a good tall sissy bar for the wife now. She is complaining about holding on for dear life now that her seat is tilted back further. Any suggestions.

The stock sissy bar does provide the needed back stop.. The GF wouldn't ride on back without it..I think the stock Honda accessory sissy bar will give her the security she wants. Tony-Fury has it on his bike so you can check with him
It looks really good. And great idea with the front of the seat. The next time I take the bike apart I think I will do the same.

Yeah it's a much more solid fit with the extensions on now.
I was able to bottom out the fender this evening with the Tony Mod..
I hit a serious dip with some speed, the ones where they warn you in advance with the painted markings...

Hit it with some pretty good speed with the GF on the back..
Think I need to turn up the pre-load adjuster, had it set pretty low..

Compression Bolt
I bought my compression bolt from Lowes. It's with all the hard to find bolts in the pull out trays on the fastner isle. It looks like the one on the left in the picture attached. they are about .$50 each.

put Oprah"s ass on the ground
I done the "T" mod and the short shock mod and put oprah's
(bikes name) ass on the ground. still have about 2.5" of shock travel and no problems with hard ride. I had to go to the side mount plate hanger, my son-in-law made that by hand. We are getting ready for a 1200 mile trip next week and I will let you know how it goes. here is some pics. what do you think?
