Looks good. I'll be interested to hear what the ride's like, when you get a chance to try it.

It looks like the fork bag could hit the fender now.

Default Progressive lowering Kit
Very sweet looking ride you have there....
I did the same setup on FXDC which is used a lot for touring and I'm definitely going for some better quality shocks as the ride is just not what it should be.....They probably won't be Progressive Shocks just have not decided the brand yet.....some great choices out there.

JUST RIDE!!!

U guys wanted to know what i thought of the ride after the lowering kit and all i have to say is WOW i love it the bike feels so much better. I knew it would make a better ride but not that much. Some of the bumps i would would bottem out on now i dont. I use my front break alot and when i stoped i would get that shitty rocking back and forth now its gone. I feel like in more control. I did some ridding with just the rear shox changed and i noticed a little but now with the fron I can tell way more and like i said more than worth the cost should have done it long time ago.
