I am trying to order the progressive front lowering kit but cant seem to find a part # for the 06 dynas, can someone that has done this mod please tell me the #. And i was wondering if the kit gives you the option on how low you qant to go or is it two different kits. Thanks

If you have a different model Dyna just plug your info into their web-site.

Thanks i saw that after i posted the question. I was looking in j&p and was confused. Did you put the lowering kit on your bike and if you did, does it give the option of 1 or 2 inches.

The Street Bob is already low enough to suit me.

RE: part # for front lowering kit
American Iron Mag did a Progressive front lowering kit in a DIY article a couple of months ago. They say there's a round plastic block that installs below the spring and you have to cut that in order to set your height. i.e. the more you cut off the lower you go.
It looks like a very simple install and they said it improved handling.
Speaking of cutting a plastic block to make the front shorter... Why couldn't a guy just cut the existing spring, grind the cut side flat, and reinstall it for a lower bike?

The only part you need is a round spacer. The thicker the spacer, the lower the bike. No need to change springs or anything else. The stock spring is a progressive rate spring. If you want parts for the front of an '06-'07 Dyna, get parts for a V-Rod, it's the same thing internally.
If you really want to improve ride and handeling, install a Race Tech Caddies suspension kit. A little expensive, but worth every penny.

The rest of your post I will agree with, especially the Race Tech Caddies suspension kit (great setup, but alot of $$$$).
