Default progressve drop in front lowering on an 03 wideglide???

Has anyoe with an 03 wideglide tried the "drop-in" kit from progressive part # 10-2003??? I can't see how this can be a true drop in with the way the forks are assembled in the top tree. The "regular" kit is part# 10-1561 and I'm sure this kit requires tube removal (which isn't that big a deal), but a drop in would be nicer. Just wondering if anyone has experience with this new kit on 03 WG style front end.

I just changed springs in my 99 WG yesterday

If you have a pinch bolt at the top of the tree, I believe you can use the drop ins

If you can not use the drop ins, save you some money since you have to remove the forks anyway

If you have a bolt, the tubes must be removed but it was easy
I had never messed with forks before but here is a great video about how to do it
