Except for the spring replacement, which was a copper-plated pig to put on.

I had Chinese lowering on me 16 plate RT,fitted spot on,no issues and a very good finish.

Me too, No difficult problems.You may want to enlarge your brake and shift control levers/pedals. Just about all the lowering kits move the pegs further out and those pedals feel like they get smaller

I've got a chinese set on my 2012 twincam. All works very well and has really helped my knees. Fitting was straightforward except for wrecking one of the original pins getting it out, so had to replace with a new one. They are very soft stainless steel - heat was required.

Yeah me, see page 5:-

There's a trick to the spring. Put a screwdriver through the center of the spring and slide.
My kit, as i said, came from China, but the destruction was a copy of Wundelic with the name blanked out. This was the same with the f & R crash bars i bought.
Makes you wonder where these expensive parts are really made. I've had the same brake levers, sat nat mountings etc
