progressive drop in issue
I have read before that there has been some issues after install. Well I just installed my drop in lowering springs on my 2013 street bob and now when I sit still and rock the bike back and forth and hold the front brake theres a clunk or noise coming from the forks. Is my fluid too low that causes this? bike is only 4 months old. Need help solving this!

I did the Progressive drop-ins on my 02 for standard height and did not have any problems. I realize there is a big difference in the forks between your bike and mine. Check out the install video on the Progressive website. Did you install the spacers?

Yes I did everything by the instructions. I just changed back to my stock ones and they do the same thing I think it's the noise when I top and bottom them out. Just being paranoid! I will be reinstalling them

Mine does it as well. It is common on the the Street Bob. I had the clunk before I did the dropins and the clunk is still there.
I did not change the oil, which had never been done yet. It is still original, but did look and feel good still.
My winter mods include Intiminators, Amsoil medium shock therapy, and RSD preload adjusters. I will find out in the spring if it helped quiet them. I think the Intiminators will stop the springs from moving around by the way they are designed..

My stock springs had a clunk that went away after installing my prog... springs. I have the standard length and replaced the oil with oem type E. I also adjusted the steering head (fall away) at the same time because I thought that might be where it was coming from? One of the two cured it
