I've had their kit on for years... quality stuff. They are the originaters of the collared lowering kit. The 2 inch drop will leave you with no travel and a fudged up spine.
I lowered my Deluxe 2" in the front and 1.5" in the rear. For the front I used the progressive spring kit and for the rear I use the collard setup like softailloweringkit. I actually ordered mine from Dead Creek Cycles though. I will caution you, it really changes the ride. I need to soften the preload on it now, because over the weekend I hit a few bumps that really jarred my back..... Adjusting the preload should soften that up a little.
that's a nice lookin cross bones! I'm afraid to go 1.5" drop..I drag in hard corners now on my slim an I have a decent curb to go over to get into my condo drive. I just want a little drop for better footing when I run the Corbin touring seat, it sits higher than the mustang I use around town.
I did the www.softailowingkit.com. It is easy as hell (I can do the install in under 30 minutes). I've put them on and off a couple times now comparing the ride to stock. Not much difference to be honest. I ride solo, but I imagine two-up would be a different story. I do have to be careful with the right lean angle. The pipe will drag on occasion with the 1.5" drop.
Here are before and after shots (stock v 1.5" drop) ...
