Info on lowering kits???
I have a 2005 heritage and I'm planning on putting a 21" wheel in the front shortly. I know I will have to lower the front to keep the trail and ride right but I want to lower the back too. How much will I have to lower the front to keep it right? I want to lower the back the full 2" but don't know the total amount I would have to lower the front. Also where can I find the good lowering kits for my bike? Burly makes one for the front but I haven't found any for the rear other than the cheap bolt swaps. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I recently installed a 21"/18" wheel combo on my 05 Heritage and lowered my front 1" with the Progressive lowering kit. The rear was already lowered 1". The change to 21"/18" with the front lowered 1" really didn't change the ride at all. I was advised by my Indy not to drop the front more than 1" due to tire rub. SJ Ron

[QUOTE=Ironhorse_cowboy;11269635]Ron do you have links to these things? And I have the same question about the 2" drop. I want my ride to set as low as possible for a cool look, but will I have issues with clearance or anything else? Thanks for the feedback guys[/QUOTE
If you go on Ebay, do a search on Progressive Lowering Kit (they are around $85 for an 05 Softail). SJ Ron

I lowered my Slim 2" in the rear and 1 3/4" (progressive springs) in the front. I was scrapping floorboards all the time till I put the shotgun on the rear. Then I would just bump up the height while riding an inch. I know have a 23" front rim which raised the front of the bike up a bit. Now I never scrape and still like the stance of the bike. I highly recommend the Shotgun shock. They ride truly amazing and have a major WOW factor when you come to a stop and slam the bike.
