Working on getting Original Garage Moto 6.5" pullback risers and ODI Podium bars setup on the wife's '22. I installed cruise control at the same time and am working on cleaning up the wiring with split-loom. I ordered the Goodentite replacement riser bushings from OG Moto too and either they are not fitting correctly or are crap, actually I think it's both. There is still a LOT of slop in the bars which is unacceptable. I have a set of solid bushings on order from Thrashin and am waiting to hear back from OG Moto on the incorrect gauge extension wire they sent me.
2021 Street Bob...
Having lowered the rear shock a while ago, I'm now looking at changing the fork springs - I want to go 1" lower.
I've narrowed it down the following:
Progressive Suspension Standard Duty 49mm Fork Lowering Spring Kit (10-1572)
They're both about the same price.
They both will lower the front by 1".
However, one says Standard Duty - is that something to do with the spring rate?
What actually is difference between the 2 sets?
I just installed a Baker 30 tooth compensator sprocket on my Stage 2, 2022 Street Bob. Noticeably faster in gears 3-6. RPM increase about 500 in 6th. Since this isn't a touring bike, it's not an issue. Had to adjust the final drive ratio in my Thundermax to get the gear indicator lights to sync up.
Went for a short ride last night. It was in the 70's, which we haven't seen in many months. Nice to have the Leather Pros so I can pack a hoodie and riding jacket for the ride home. Didn't need them afterall.

Done my own research and, based on the state of the roads over here in the UK, have decided to go with the Progressive Suspension 49mm Tubes Drop-In Fork Lowering Kit (10-2008).
Picked up my new 2024 Street Bob last week. Already added a bunch of new parts. Thrashin supply bags and brackets. Cobra neighbor hater slip-ons, Memphis Shades road warrior fairing and 15 inch shield. Saddlemen seat. TC Bros sissy bar and pad. TC Bros license plate relocation. LED turn signals. Not pictured are Thrashin Supply 6.5 pullback risers, 1 inch extension and high bend bars. Thrashin supply militant front pegs. Next will be front turn signal relocation to the forks. I also came across an ST fairing a local guy wants to sell me with all the mounting brackets, etc. for $500.
