Re: Legacy 59

I have the Fatman Fabrications kit here now and it appears complete. I got the instructions from them too. I still need to repair the frame and check it for straightness. I have a oxy-acetylene setup now to heat things up and for any cutting I have to do. The instructions were not clear on locating axle centerline, just to find it and install the crossmember centered there. Tack it in and mock up the wheels and fenders to make sure they look right. It came with the stock height spindle which is what I wanted. I expect it will drop the height somewhere between 3 to 5". I'm still not to clear on setting the ride height and whether I need to notch in the upper hats or how much that changes the height. They do suggest putting a 2" piece of pipe over the shock rod to lock in the length while test fitting. Anyone feel like commenting on how easy or difficult the process is? Thanks!
