Rode my 21/18 combo for 2 weeks, then ordered the progressive lowering kit, then rode it another 2 weeks, I finally got around to installing the kit last weekend, lowered it 1", what a difference, went for a ride and I swear I was grinning from ear to ear the whole time, makes a big difference in my opionion.

I lowered mine 1 1/2" in the front with no issues. I have 21/18 80 spoke DNA wheels and also a crash bar. I highly recommend putting in a heavier weight fork oil for performance and stability.

I lowered mine an inch in the front and rear... Harley kit in front and the adjustable bracket kit for the rear off of ebay... 17X200 on the rear and it rides good and handles great!

lowered 1" in front with Race Tech. IMO after riding 21/18's without lowering the front it's a must. Really great ride with it lowered in front.
