Default Installed Burly's, now the front?? (pics)

I recieved my new Burly Slammer shocks and Progressive drop-in kit yesterday. I went ahead and threw on the Burly's (very easy process) and now I'm on the fence if I want to install the front kit. I like how the front end sits, but can't decide. What do you guys think? (Sorry for the quality, taken from my iPhone).

I dig the look alot and am not sure about the front... Id say slam it down.. if you dont like it you can always change it back... man I LOVE those burley shocks and kits ... I know the topic has been beaten to death on here but Im putting a 180 on the rear of my 07 SB and ride two up quite a bit... Im thinking it would rub on my fender and generally not be good.... Im hoping when Im riding my fat a$$ (270 pounds... shes about 125) makes up for the NON lowered shocks haha

After lowering the rear that much, ya really have to lower the front. Not only for looks, also for ride quality.

I dropped my back end without doing the front. I thought about it but have never done it since I'm liking the way it is now. That's something you can always do later should you want to.

I only lowered the rear only, I love the slight angle it gives and I think it looks better. As far as ride quality, I haven't noticed any difference from stock.

I would go ahead and lower the front if I had the kit, I like the way the look lowered only in the rear, but I think when the front is lowered it gives the bike a completely different look.
