I just installed progressive springs in my front forks. It wasn't hard to do. I haven't got a chance to ride it yet. I've got a lot of other work I'm finishing up over this winter.

I just installed the HD lowprofile front lowering kit on my 08 NT....its not hard, just time consuming....you will need the special socket to fit the spring retainer that is under the chrome hex cover on the top of the fork leg and a new dampner screw and crush washer, along with new fluid...I used the SE fork fluid....the stealer wanted 4 hrs @ $70 per hr plus the parts......BS to that...the instructions that come with the front spring kit is very easy to follow....just put it on a lift and get your hands dirty....goood luck
