LA Choppers Rear Lowering Kit For Harley Dyna 1995-2005
Tail Drop: LA Choppers Rear Lowering Kit for Harley Dyna (1995–2005)
The LA Choppers Rear Lowering Kit is a component specifically designed to reduce the ride height of the rear end of Harley-Davidson Dyna models manufactured from 1995 through 2005. This kit is a popular choice for riders looking to achieve a custom, lowered stance and improve their footing on the ground.
This kit targets the early Dyna chassis that utilized the traditional external rear shocks and often came with 12.5-inch or 13-inch shocks from the factory.
Product Mechanism
LA Choppers and similar manufacturers typically achieve a rear drop using one of two methods for the Dyna:
Lowering Blocks (Most Common for this Era): This kit often consists of metal lowering blocks or adjustable plates that attach to the lower mounting point of the rear shocks and the swingarm. By effectively relocating the shock mounting point, the blocks change the leverage and geometry, which reduces the bike’s resting height.
Shorter Shocks: Less commonly, the “kit” might refer to a pair of shorter shock spacers or actual short replacement shocks (though LA Choppers is known primarily for lowering blocks/brackets).
Drop Amount: These kits generally offer a drop of 1 inch or 2 inches, depending on the specific bracket or mounting hole used, allowing the rider to customize the exact stance.
Simple Installation: Lowering block kits are straightforward to install, requiring basic tools to remove and reinstall the rear shocks with the new mounting plates or blocks.
Fitment and Compatibility
Model Coverage: Designed to fit most Harley Dyna models (FXD, FXDC, FXDL, etc.) from 1995 through 2005.
Exclusions: Typically does not fit models with specialized or adjustable suspension like the FXDX/FXDXT (Super Glide Sport/T-Sport) or the FXDWG (Wide Glide) of that era, due to differences in shock length and swingarm geometry.
Important Considerations
Ground Clearance: Lowering the rear end significantly reduces the motorcycle’s lean angle and ground clearance. Be cautious of scraping footpegs, floorboards, or exhaust components during cornering.
Shock Angle: Using lowering blocks slightly alters the operating angle of the stock shocks, which can sometimes impact the quality of the damping.
Jiffy Stand: A significant drop may require a shorter kickstand (jiffy stand) to ensure the bike leans securely when parked.
The LA Choppers Rear Lowering Kit Dyna 1995-2005 is a popular and economical way to achieve a custom, lowered profile for your early Twin Cam Dyna.
