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.

Thanks for the advice and the input, much appreciated..as you can tell I'm still learning my way around the forums.
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.
