I would prefer the one that fits my bike!!! Check the Progressive site. I think you'll find only one drop-in lowering kit # that fits your bike....then order that one!!

Nice looking bike!!! I'm about to install a Progressive front lowering kit and 422 adjustable shocks on my Rocker, just waiting for new wheels to arrive...Did you lower the rear?? If so, what did you use??

Couple of tid bits.
You can use schedule 40 PVC pipe from the hardware store to make different size spacers.
Make sure you compensate with less fork oil to make up for the lowering of the forks and space that the spacers take up. Too much oil will blow your fork seals and you front end will be way to stiff.
Ricor Intiminators and Pre-load adjuster caps are a perfect addition to this project.
I have done this a couple of times before with lots of trial and error.
Mono shocks would be a better choice. Cheaper in the long run and a hell of a lot less work.
