Pros looks killer cons primary case gets a grind on occasion so do the pipes. Rides a little rougher but, it depends on how low you go. I got the Arlen Ness front and rear w/ a kick stand for $189 great kit.

Everything looks better lowered, and if you ask me the lower you got he better it looks.
That big 200 looks great tucked up in the fender and HD did a great job of making room in there.
The Ness kit is complete front and rear, good deal.
My bike is lowered as far as the lowering bolts will let it go and I had to stiffen the shocks. There's a trade-off between looks and ride. Take your pick.
Oh, like Lundee said, scraping may be an issue, especially the exhaust depending what you have. My V&H Pro likes to scrape the rear bracket if I am a little too aggressive when turning right.

Yeah looks 10x better when front and rear are slammed right! Dont just slam the rear... Keep your frame rails parallel to the ground. THEN it will looks right! Not like you are half done installing your lowering kit
