    Hi, i have the 54001-04A lowering kit in my '97 Fatboy. Since a degrease and cleanup a few weeks ago, the rear suspension is as squeeky as all buggery. I reckon  I need to remove, clean and re-lube the rear suspension. Has anyone done this and got any tips and tricks to pass on before i start. Cheers.

    drop the rear bolt out one at a time clean up ball part of rose joint ,spray with some crc or silicon lube put back on could be the swingarm
    bushes/bearings that are squeaking too lot more work to clean them but you could just try a lube from the side
