I posted a thread a while back on this swap.Was not sure
if i should do this or the dealer.It was raining this past
saturday.I said what the hell.I went out to the shop and started tearing
it down.I'm glad i did i enjoyed the change of work .I'm a truck
mancanhic by trade. it's nice to work on somthing you don't
need a forklift to handle the parts that you are replacing.
Everything went as planned.the king is back on the road

Do you now have clanking in the front end when going over most types of bumps?

 

How is the ride over bumps?

I lowered the rears on my 08 RK and was going to do the front over the winter, but my local grocery store just put in moderately huge speed bump that got me thinking twice about it. I'd love to be lower, but I don't want to be hitting bottom, either.

 

Mine always felt like it handled weird with just the back lowered. Lowered the front 1" with the Harley kit when I chromed the front end and it handles like a dream again. Well worth it.

The ride was short back roads in the country.mainley checking brakes
and the handling in the turns, But will comment later .And i spend
a lot of time two up.if there is a clearance problem well i deal with it
i have to beable to put my feet on the ground to ride.To get somthing
you have to give somthing

 

I have the front & rear lowered on my RG. I just keep the rear shocks pumped up. Other than the occasional bottoming out when riding 2 up...I have no problems.

 

I'm lowered both front and back and have not noticed any clanging or bottoming out in the front- but I only ride solo..

 

Then I take it you also lowered the rear??? HD recommends lowering Ft & Rear together - or just the rears - Never just the fronts???

 

i put the lower kit on the SG and now i get the clanking....what is it?

 

I had my rear shocks cut down one inch from 12 to 11's and lowered the front a full 1". no clanking, no bottoming out, just rides a whole lot better.
