Lowering Front End
Well, I've been reading a ton of posts, and I think I have my lowering options pretty much narrowed down.
For my 2000 FXD, I'm looking at putting 11" Progressive 412s on the back. My question is about the front. I see where some slide their tubes up the tree about an inch to compensate for the lowered rear. Is this a good long-term solution, or more of a band-aid? Am I better off getting the drop in progressive springs at the same time I lower the rear? If sliding the tubes is just as good, then I don't mind saving 100 bucks or so...

I say slide them but if you got the cash, put the springs in. Your tubes will have a ring around them that will be visable when you slide them so they will somtimes get on your nerves.
