Default Moose lift kit installation on a AC 300

I installed it in one hour and fifteen minutes (went home for lunch and installed the lift kit [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img])

The kit is made up of aluminium plates (nice and light), bolts, nut, and fitted the bike perfectly (at least for my 300).

Very simple installation, just take the top bolt out of each shock and place the lift kit (two plates, and two bolts) and bolt every thing back together. Of course you need to have the bike lifted at each end.

The instructions leave a lot to be desired (there are barely any instructions at all). You are saved by the simplicity of the kit though. In fact there is a mistake in the instructions, they tell you the kit goes to the bottom part of the rear shocks (not true, you can clearly see by the design that it fits the top!)

Reading about it on line I read you get about 1.5 to 2 inches of lift. My results were 1.5 in front, and 2 inches in the rear.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I went from 9 inch ground clearance all the way around to 10.5 front, and 11 inch rear ground clearance.

I did have to realign my front end. Once the kit was installed, I had visible front toe in.

First riding impression (only on the street, and yes I was a little late getting back to work [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]) is that the bike feels "tippier" going around corners (that is to be expected since it now sits higher). In a straight line it feels more stable! I think it is because I realigned the front end, and you definetly feel that you are sitting higher off the ground.

With the kit in place my stock wheel/tires now really look "small"....

I will write a follow up as soon as I can hit the trail.

BTW, for those of you who are interested in buying one here is a link for one on ebaY: Moose lift kit

Cheers.
