Default '09 & '010 Profile Low on a touring-series...

I've already replaced the OEM rear shocks on my Ultra with the H-D Profile Low Touring Shocks. I'm looking for feedback for those that have also installed the H-D Profile Low Touring Front Lowering Kit #54564-09. I'd like the additional lowering effect but am concerned with frame clearence, especially riding two-up and also wonder if pulling out of driveways and going over speed-bumps become a problem.

Thank you,

Bump! Not a single person here has installed the Profile Low on the front? Any techs that might have some input?

Thank you,

A few yrs ago, a service mngr where I worked had an 02 EGC. He was short.
It had the low profile E/Glide "reach" seat, and the HD shorter shocks in the rear and the HD lwr'g kit in the front. I took it for a short spin, just down the freeway & back. It rode like a Mack Truck. Way worse than my Softail. The forks. were stiff. The rear susp sucked. Anyone who has ever been down Hwy 87 in San Jose Ca. knows, it's just a cherry piece of real estate (worse freeway in the whole area) but yeah, crap crap crap.
If you need to lower your ride I strongly recommend a good aftermarket lwr'g kit (White Bro's, Progrv etc) I'd say the same about lwr'g a Softail. My wife's 03 has the Harley kit (crap crap crap)
