progressive drop-in fork lowering.....

Is there anyone who has tried this fork lowering kit on their dyna? I have seen a youtube vid on this kit and looked real simple and pretty sweet... I am wondering about ride and handling?? thanks

I put the original progressive kit in my bob and it was like a whole different machine. 100% better IMO.

There was a thread on this forum in the last few days on installing the Drop-in Progressive Lowering springs. I have 11" Progressive shocks in the rear and I have a set of Progressive Drop-in Lowering springs coming now to replace the Standard Progressive springs I currently have in my front forks.

What's your plan to get the oil out? Suck/siphon or actually remove the lowers?

rockon: These are just drop in springs, so I don't believe you have to remove any oil if I'm not mistaken? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong..

There's the link for the installation. I bookmarked it, as I plan to order the same kit soon.
