Lowering a 1992 Heritage Softail with a Progressive drop in Kit
Ok, I spent over 1 hr searching the forum for a good how to pictures and instructions thread on installing a Progressive Drop in Kit for my 1992 Heritage Softail. I want to Drop my front end by 2 inches. Does anyone have pictures of step by step instructions on how to do this? How about a thread that i might have missed for this Softail?
My other question is, do I wait untill I have the rear lowering Shot Gun Shock kit before I do the front or can you do the front first without screwing things up? Is it wise to do both at the same time?

Check out youtube, they usually have some pretty decent videos on this stuff. As for whether to do both at the same time, the answer is yes. It's usually OK to lower the rear without the front, but a bad idea to lower the front without the rear. It has to do with changing the trail measurement which is a vital part of the handling and stability of the bike.

A: Just buy the Shotgun Kit
B: Get some progressive 422's and use those for now.

I am still trying to find someone who lowered their early Softail in the front with a Drop in kit, like from 1992-99. Has anyone ever done this before? Pictures? Anything at all? I added the rear 422 shocks on tonight along with the new rims and tires. Tomorrow is the front end and this Drop in kit.
