Default Lowering inverted front end

Hello, Has anyone here ever lowered an inverted front end? I have a stock length 58mm inverted front end from Midwest Cycle Supply (Ultima) is the brand. My 96 softail was lowered 2 inches front and rear before I bought it. It also had a 16" front wheel that I upgraded to 21". The bike is a little tall in the front for my taste and I would like to lower the front 1-2 inches. Anyone know if inverted front ends use the same springs as a wide glide? I am hoping I can take my springs out of my lowered WG front end and put them in the inverted? Thanks

You are in California. Take them to GMD Computrack . Probably cost you more then them are worth, but check it out for yourself.

Nobody? Guess I'll have to tear it down and start measuring springs.

How did it go? I was curious a I wanted to lower my inverted front end as well...Have you ever heard of anyone cutting down the springs themselves?

Ultima? God only knows... But the HD Marchocchi Inverted Front End I can hook you up with the right people to have them tuned / lowered / whatever you want.
