I hope not lol. I am waiting on some more parts, imagine that. Gonna do a chrome front end and lower the bike front and rear all at the same time. Plus I gotta wait on the pulley to mole em up to find out what size spacer I will need. I have gotten two answers to that question, 1/2 and 3/8.

I am also waiting on wheels, pulley, rotors, chrome front end, chrome swing arm, etc.

Look forward to seeing pics when you are done.

Ok, I have the before pics up. I just got off the phone with HCC who I called about a lowering kit. They recommended the Ness Damper kit over changing the springs. I have no experience with this kit and from reading some things on here it sounds like some like it and others hate it. I guess we will see soon enough.

Drooled over the pics for a few minutes. Gonna look sweet. You have several options as far as lowering goes if you are trying to do it on the cheap. As far as the front goes you have the Progressive Dropin springs with Ricor Intiminators SE heavy oil. You can change out the tubes for FLH tubes which are already 2" shorter and will maintain a factory ride. Or, you could go with the Ness Dampers. What are your plans for the rear?

I bought both wheels for about what DNA priced me a 21 front for!! On a side note, I did originally plan on doing a 21x3.5 in the front. KC did not have one in stock so I settled for the 21x3 to avoid having to wait a month to get the 3.5.

They are showing about $450 now. Are they going up to $700 or $800?

I have some cheap lowering bolts on the way. I will most likely end up with a shotgun but I have to let the checking account heal up a little before I take that on. Most likely a winter project.

If I remember correctly DNA quoted over $700 for the front. I asked why so much because I had seen them elsewhere. Guy said they were raising prices because their manufacturing costs had went up. Brock at KC said DNA told him the prices were gona change but they hadnt sent him the new price sheet.

I bought both wheels, front and rear rotor and the pulley with all the chrome bolts for $1170 shipped to my door.
