Anyone have instructions for Scootworks kit?

[Danase]

I'm looking to see what it will take to install the Scootworks lowering kit for the rear of an 800. The Cobra kit says you need a tool to compress the spring but the Scootworks kit doesn't say anything about a spring compress tool.

Thanks!

Try contacting Scootworks. From what I've heard they are pretty helpful.

Yeah, I emailed them last night. I was just wondering if anyone had any experience. I'll probably hear back from them today or tomorrow.

I think the Scootworks lowering kit does not require the spring compressor but the shock improvement kit does. That was a must have on my 800 when it was lowered.

The first page has some excellent info on 800's. The page I've directed you to will go into detail on how to lower it and how to use regular hose clamps to do it. I used this site alot when I had my 800 and it was invaluable.
The second page is more dedicated to 1500's but has some usefull info as well.
Hope that helps you out!
Hmm the site has changed a bit. Follow the top link and go to the bottom of the page. ( stuff about LoRidres Bike ) Look for ( Lowering the rear ) In that area. That will take you directly to it.

you might hear from scootworks late next week. when i ordered the front wheel kit it took 3 weeks for them to get back to me. I emailed them and called them. I have also heard of guys on the board who had good luck with them but i didnt.

just wing it. haha. once you get your rear wheel off and the shock assembly exposed, it shouldnt be too much of a problem. pretty straight forward. if wrenchin aint a problem for ya, you should be okay. i think.

Thanks guys! I heard from Scootworks and they had a few questions for me so I'm waiting to hear back with those answers.

for lowering kit instructions go to scootworks.com, click on info center, click on lower kit,

I installed mine 2yrs ago. if you have a frame mounted fender, you are going to need to mod the shock with s.w. shock kit-spacers to prevent fender scrub and eating up your wiring, which requires the spring compressor. I did when I installed mine had the stock fender sit up. but with the bobber swing arm mounted fender the tire will not scrub the fender. installing the lowering kit was easy but the shock gave me some frustration.hopes this helps
