Default Nightster front-end lowering

I have a 2009 XL12O0N (Nightster) with 13" (Burley brand) rear shocks. Stock rear shocks were 11". I still want to level the bike a bit more and am considering fork lowering kits for the front-end. Has anyone gone down as far as 2" in the front? If you have lowered your Nightster, how far have you lowered?

Why don't you just slide your forks up one inch in the triple trees and see how that looks?

Yeah, I'll do that first. Thanks for the experimental approach.
