Do you know what kind of lowering kit you have?

I lowered mine 2" in the front and back. The ride did suck at first, but I cranked the preload all the way up and it got much better. I would try that first.

So your HD dealer is further away than the starbucks?

Cool.

If you do a search on installing a lowering kit...the removal would be the reverse.

I can't lay my fingers on it right now but the instructions have been posted on here many times if you do a search.

I'd suggest just raising it back up with the kit in place, if possible in case You change that mind about it...

Or you could do this and in about 15 minutes be back to a very uncool looking but very oingy boingy softail.

hehe, u crack me up hammer....

How you like that new 2 into 1... get the power you were searching for? Did you sell your bigshots?

Also... the most important question... where did you get that front fender and what make is it? I want to get one for my winter project this year.
