Default Best way to lower Fatboy frontend?

Hi there
I've got a 2007 Fatboy with the excellent Shotgun Shock in the back
I'd like to lower the front maybe an 1" or so
I'd like to do something with the front forks to complement the Shotgun
I was thinking "Progressive Suspension Monotube Fork Cartridge Kit"or is there any better way to go
what are you guys using
Any advice or help would be appreciated

thanks in advance

John

I've been looking around and though I'm not lowering just firming it up. I went with the Progressives. Try their drop-in kit if you can find one for your ride. If not any kit you use is a PITA. Doable with a bike jack, time and maybe a little help. A couple of beers too. There's video on YOUTUBE.

Progressive Monotube is the best setup we have used. We recommend it for customers wanting to change the front springs.
