Finished lowering my bike tonight. (Pictures)

I'm running Ultima shocks on mine and couldn't be happier (Well, I could be happier if I had an air ride). Fully adjustable and about a 1/3 of the cost of Progressives. Had 'em on for over a year with no problems.

This was an old post, when I had just finished lowering my bike. I was unsure how far I wanted to go in these pics, and later lowered it a full 2 inchs in the rear. Go to my statistics page and look at my albums for how it looks now.

I lowered my 02 Heritage by 2" in the front (white bros kit). I couldn't deside if I should go with the recommended max of 1.5" until I meet a guy who went 3" - he weighted about 70 lbs for than me and said he was happy with theheight. So... 2" it was. Never happier. With the Platinum Air ride and the lowered front. I can SLAM or not.

I just purchased a lowering kit for the front and rear for my 07 fatty...what are the quick steps to installing the drop in fork lowering springs...the service manual does not really give a good clear picture nor does the progressive instructions...do i need to remove all the chrome on the front end then slide the forks out of the top bracket on the triple tree?

If your using the original lowering kit its easiest to remove the forks completly since you have to take the sliders off to install the spacer springs to limit the damper travel.
Im not a fan of the "Drop In Kit" the problem with it is the lower you go the softer your fork spring preload is and the softer your suspension. With the original kit you linit the up travel of the forks (lenght) and then can preload the forks to your tastes
