I am thinking of lowering my bike one inch to go with a 21" on my 09 sg. What springs are best to use with the intiminators?

 

I went with the progressive drop in lowering kit and the intiminators when I lowered the front of my '09. We did the same thing on a buddy's '08. I added the amount of oil in the service manual and mine is a bit stiff. We put about an ounce less in his and it is perfect. I'm going to pull about 10cc's out at a time and see how that does.

 

Do you ever miss the extra travel? Does it bottom out?

 

No bottoming out. It seems like a good setup to me.

 

Thanks for the response!

 

HD has a kit to lower the front by 1" does it matter which one you use ? Or are they the same ?

 

You did use the fork oil recommended by Ricor, didn't you?

 

Yes, I just need to tune it by adjusting the level a bit. Have done that for years on my race bikes. It allows more or less air to compress acting as a spring. More. air=softer less=stiffer.
