Nice looking bike. How much did you lower the front, and what kit did you use? I'm thinking about going with a wrapper up front.
Also, I can't help but notice, but doesn't the flat part of the fork sliders go on the inside? On the black ones with the contrast cuts I had on my last bike that's how they went. I'm surprised they're not rubbing the fender.
I lowered the front 2" but in reality it's only 1" lower than factory because of the 21" wheel. I did the Progressive drop in spring kit with the 15 weight fork oil. The bike handles great no issues with bottoming out. The front end is firm but handles great with the 21" wheel. Before I lowered it with the wheel it responded slow if that makes sense. The fork sliders clear the wrapper fender just fine more than enough room. I liked the flat spot showing on the outside with the HD logo. Wish I would have done the wrapper fender a long time ago. Waiting for my Top Shop bags and fender to come in only a few weeks left until they are here. The Factory Match is awesome to deal with.
