Is that a Road King you have there? If so this might be a better question over on that side.
I would think it would be just fine though. I don't think the forks can compress that much even with shorter springs in there.

Any thoughts on lowering the front end? I have 11" rear shocks and I scrape on tight turns but that was when I had mids. I have switched to forward controls over the winter and have been thinking about dropping the front too.

Here is a pic before the forward controls.

I have the Progressive drop-ins on the front of mine (dropped over 2 inches) and I do not scrape with forwards. However, I do have Arnotts air ride in the rear and I typically ride with them pumped up so I have closer to stock clearance in the rear while riding.

You could also help the look by snugging up your front fender to your tire a bit.
