Default Fork lowering kit
Who makes the best lowering kit that will get the front end closest to the ground? It's going on my 06 heritage. Thanks in advance.

I've always been told the Progressive brand kits are the easiest to install and best out there.

Progressive Monotubes, you can set them to be 2" lower than stock. I have them in two bikes both set 1" lower than stock...

I used the Progressive Monotubes, with a 1 inch lower on my 16 Deluxe, More info at progressivesuspension.com No more nose dive on hard braking and the ride is better.
Good luck with it, Happy New Year.
