Softail standard frontend lowering.

Softail standard frontend lowering.
I posted this before and got no response. Maybe I'll get lucky this time. I have the rear of my 05 Softail Standard lowered 2 inches. I want to lower the front of my bike also but I would like to hear some opinions on how the bike will ride and handle afterwards. Any opinions would be helpful. Thanks in advance. Michael

Lowered mine at the back 1.5" and front 2". Used progressive springs in the front. The bike is still higher then my Heritage...

I've got some sitting in a box, the dealer told me to just install the top springs for 1 ", and I wouldn't need to mess around w/fork oil ect.....

I used the Progressive springs on my NT. Worked good till I rode a friends standard that had the Race Tech emulator valves. Night and day difference Pricey at 150.00 but you get what you pay for with these. The damping they give does wonders for the ride not to mention the handling in the mountains. Probably gonna go 2' under on the tubes this winter. Good looking bike Xocjm
