it's been a long time since i've put a lowering kit on a bike, but i did this time.  '05 eg, lowered it, do i need to readjust the belt?  it seems that many years ago you had to readjust the belt when you altered suspension.  seems that it would still make sense.

Seems like I had to adjust mine just a tad after I installed mine.  It might of been off before I did anything though.  Just the same it probably wouldn't hurt to check it.

Check the belt tension with you and passenger (if ridin 2 up) to see if it's okay first. You might need to re-adjust it.

I have an airtail on my fat boy and have to leave belt a little loose to allow for the different heights, so yes you may very well need to check the belt!

Well, most likely. Depends on how much you lowered as well. I would check it at the very least.
