LA Choppers Rear Lowering Kit For Harley V-Rod 2004-2008
Low-Profile Power: LA Choppers Rear Lowering Kit for Harley V-Rod (2004–2008)
The LA Choppers Rear Lowering Kit is a component specifically engineered to drop the ride height of the high-performance Harley-Davidson V-Rod models from the 2002 through 2008 model range (which includes your requested 2004–2008 years). This kit is popular for achieving a custom, lower stance that complements the V-Rod’s aggressive, drag-bike aesthetic.
Product Mechanism and Features
This kit utilizes precision-machined steel blocks to relocate the mounting point of the factory rear shocks, achieving the desired drop while using the stock shocks.
Drop Amount: The LA Choppers kit for the V-Rod is designed to lower the rear of the motorcycle by a fixed 1 inch. This provides a noticeable aesthetic change and improved footing without drastically sacrificing the minimal suspension travel the V-Rod already has.
Relocation Blocks: The kit consists of two high-strength steel lowering blocks/brackets that mount between the stock shocks and the swingarm.
Aesthetic Finishes: The kit is commonly available in a black powder-coated finish to blend seamlessly with the V-Rod’s aggressive styling.
Compatibility: The part number (e.g., LA-7590-05) generally fits many VRSC models from 2002 through 2008, including the V-Rod (VRSCA), Night Rod (VRSCD), and Street Rod (VRSCR).
Fitment Note
The wide fitment (2002–2008) ensures compatibility with the common rear shock configuration found on V-Rod models like:
V-Rod (VRSCA, VRSCB, VRSCAW)
Night Rod (VRSCD)
Street Rod (VRSCR)
Important Considerations
Ground Clearance: Lowering the V-Rod by 1 inch will reduce the already limited lean angle. You should be cautious of scraping the exhaust or footpegs during aggressive cornering.
Not for Shorty Shocks: The manufacturer warns that this kit is not to be used in conjunction with “shorty” or “low-profile” shocks, as doing so would cause tire-to-fender rub and severe handling issues.
Jiffy Stand: A 1-inch drop is usually manageable with the stock jiffy stand, but it is always recommended to check the bike’s lean angle after installation.
The LA Choppers Rear Lowering Kit is a straightforward, cost-effective way to achieve a V-Rod Slammed Look Kit without replacing the entire shock assembly.
