Ya done good, JoJo. If I wanted different pipes, yours would be at top of the list.
Nice flowing look for your bike.

I have a set of Ricor Intiminators I still have been too lazy to install.
The front end feels a little softer than I like and hope they firm it up a bit.

hey rockerz! Nice job! Just got did my rear shocks today! 422 2" lower! Dead easy!
I've got here the drop in kit for the front as well, but kind of a bit lost about how to do it! Do I have to take out the front wheel, fender and all the other stuff or pretty much straight forward like on progressivesuspesion web site video? Any help will be well appreciated! Tks a lot!

Sorry man, not gonna "drop in" like in the video unless you have a Dyna.

You will have to remove the front wheel and either completely remove the fork legs or drop them in the trees enough to slide the springs in/out. If you're changing the fork oil as well, need to remove them completely. Good luck.

it's not as easy as the progressive video, that would be too good to be true.

once front wheel, brake caliper, fender are removed take the 2 top caps off.

loosen the lower tree bolt, slide the forks down 2-3" then tighten up the lower tree bolt.

remove the inner tube bolt slowly as spring is compressed.

The reason I left the fork tube in the tree is because the tube bolt was too tight to remove with fork out of the tree & so I didn't get smacked when the spring was released.

Hope this makes sense. It is easier than it sounds.

Just a note, without the PVC spacer installed the front will drop 2". If you have a 21 on the front it works perfect.

You will be happy with the results.

Good Luck.
