Burly Brand Slammer Kit

The Burly Brand Slammer Kit is a rear suspension lowering solution for cruisers and custom bikes where you want a lower stance without cutting springs or wrecking ride quality. It’s a bolt-on kit that drops the rear end a few inches to tighten rake, improve stance and give bikes a more planted look and feel.

Intended use and fitment

Slammer kits are chosen when a stock rear ride height feels too tall, when riders want a more aggressive crouched stance, or when a bike’s proportions look better closer to the ground. They’re especially popular on cruisers and baggers where appearance and handling balance matter.Typical use cases:
  • Lowering the rear without cutting springs
  • Giving bikes a more custom silhouette
  • Improving reach and ergonomics for shorter riders
  • Bikes where stock height feels too upright or “top-heavy”
Fitment is bike-specific. Always confirm that your motorcycle’s year, model, and suspension geometry match the Slammer Kit you choose.

Best suited for

  • Riders who want a lower rear stance without permanent modifications
  • Cruisers or custom builds where stance and proportion are key
  • Bikes that see mostly street and highway use, not track or race duty

What it changes

Rather than trimming springs or cutting links, the Slammer Kit repositions the rear shock mounts and link geometry to lower the ride height. On many bikes, this results in:
  • Lower center of gravity
  • Slightly crouched stance
  • Hands and feet feeling better aligned for certain ergos
  • A ground-hugging look without cutting suspension
Actual drop varies by model and setup.

Available finishes

  • Slammer Kit — Black
  • Slammer Kit — Chrome
Finishes are cosmetic only. Black blends with darker builds and performance themes; chrome suits classic and show-oriented machines.

Materials and build notes

Burly builds the Slammer Kit from stamped and formed steel components with a durable finish. The kit’s geometry is designed to maintain suspension operation and ride quality, not just to lower ride height. That means engineering the repositioned mounts to reduce the risk of binding or odd leverage on the shock.Black kits usually have a tough powder coat; chrome kits have a plated finish for classic style. Both finishes are meant for street use; chrome needs a little more care against corrosion in wet conditions.

Installation considerations

  • Proper installation means following the torque sequence and hardware provided
  • Lowering the rear may affect brake line and drive components — check routing
  • Some bikes may need extended brake lines or minor adjustments after installation
  • Alignment and sag settings should be checked after any suspension modification
If you’re not comfortable with suspension work, a qualified tech can handle installation — it’s not complicated, but correct geometry and torque matter.

FAQs

Is this the same for black and chrome?
Yes. Both kits function the same; the finish is the only difference.
How much lower will my bike sit?
That depends on your bike model and stock geometry. Typical drops vary but are engineered to maintain proper suspension travel.
Will it affect handling?
 Lowering the rear changes rake and trail slightly, which can make the bike feel more planted. Always check alignment after install.
Do I need new shocks?
Not usually. This kit works with your stock or compatible shocks without cutting springs.
Do I need extended brake lines or cables?
Sometimes. Check brake line routing after install; if it feels tight at full lock, you may need a slightly longer line.
Is professional installation recommended?
Yes—especially if you’re unfamiliar with suspension adjustments. Proper torque and alignment make a big difference.

    My Dyna sits mean and rides better than stock this kit is the real deal if you want that aggressive look without sacrificing ride.

  2. Patrick Cruz

    Everything in the kit was high quality and the instructions were clear. Slammed my bike in an afternoon.

  3. Craig Michoski

    Great kit for the money. Bike sits perfect now and I get tons of compliments on the stance. Very happy with this.
