What exactly will this do for you? Lower the bike a bit? By how much?

What's the cost?

I've been thinking about doing the same thing to mine. Keep us posted on the install and the results.

I wanna know too!

What would the difference be between the TT suspension, and the factory forks being lowered and an aftermarket rear shock?

it should lower the bike by 1 inch, and also firm up the suspension a bit. As for cost, a bit under 1400 for everything including the kickstand.
Now it would be cheaper to send out your stock stuff to revalve and put limiters in, but this way I have no down time, I have ridden the TT so I know for sure how it will feel, and it is still all stock Buell, and I also have my stock stuff if I want to sell it on Ebay or return to stock to sell the bike in the future.
The other option was the shorten and revalve of the front and Penske in the rear. This option is a fe dollars more than this option, but again it is a slight unkwnown, and involves downtime.
The way I am going is just easy, safe and sure.
