I dont believe any damping mods will fix how a bike will ride with a lowered front end. Its just kind of a mismatched pair. Lowered/Performance doesnt really happen. Its gonna be one or the other. If I was lowering my front end I would try the give a little take a little method.
I would fab a Schedule 40 PVC spacer that was 3/4 shorter than stock,change oil to 20wt to make up for less usable travel,and slide them up in the trees maybe 1/2 inch. That would lower you down a little over an inch and give you somewhat of a decent ride.
I wouldnt waste the money on intiminators if you are lowering the front end. I have read alot of bad on that drop in kit that you have also.

Sorry if this has already been answered somewhere in the thread, I didnt read all the pages, but will these work with a progressive drop in kit? I have one in and it lowers the front about 2 inches. Not alot of travel there. Wondering if it would be worth the cash or if it wont be able to work correctly with lowered ride height. Any info appreciated.
There are two schools of thought here. One is like parts-eater said, lowered and performance don't go hand in hand so somehting like our INTIMINATOR would not be helpful. The second is, and we see this all the time, is that the bike is already lowered and bottoms out like crazy so you need help. If you are having bottoming issues the INTIMINATOR will help you a lot.
You can try it and if it doesn't work for you send it back and I'll refund your money.
Thanks,
Brian

Thanks Brian, I knew many guys were up in the air about the discount. The discount makes this setup a steal! Mud uses this setup and did a writup on the install of these on a Street Bob. Real easy,cost effective, and can be done in the old garage. Mud said that he was impressed , which is good enough for me. I have used his tech articles as resources and he has never steered me wrong.
I dunno about the 30% discount regarding the shocks. Brian , would you chime in here?
