Got my 412's and drop in kit installed....PICS
Apologizies up front...I never posted a pic so dont kill me if it don't work! Lol. Also I know the pics are dark and the bike is filthy! I'll get some better ones tomorrow in the day light. Heres my 06' Lowrider with 412's and the new Progressive "drop in" kit. Watcha' think? New "drop-in" kit was a breeze to install...though the oil was messy as hell!

I went 11" in the rear (On my Lowrider it dropped it 1" in the rear) and cut the PVC pipe at 1" for the "drop-in" kit (like suggested in the instructions).
Not sure how much it lowered the front. Comparing before and after pics it looks like it lowered it at least 1.5" in the front. I should have measured it before I lowered it.
Took it for a QUICK (20 degree) test ride. Felt as good as it could for being numb.
I'll post better pics tomorrow.
OUTLAWSTANG....It's Progressive's all around. 412's (11 inch) rear and the "drop-in" kit up front.

Wife has 09 Dyna Lowrider but is still on tip toes. HD says nothing they have will lower further. Soooo, she wants to know how is the ride and handling when you get warmer.
She had a lowered Dyna a few years back but it was slammed so much that it might as well have been a hardtail. Rear end would jump up in the air over bumps. Think it was Progressive shocks but don't remember the type/size.
Any info, good or bad is appreciated.

I just picked up on your location, no wonder your face hurt. Our son left NY last year a week before Thanksgiving to come to TX and it snowed as soon as he left NYC. Took him 5 days, froze his azz off.
But he is young, life is an adventure when you are on a bike with a snow storm around you!
We just sent him some long johns.
Ride safe and ride as warm as you can!
