Mines lowered with the Arlen Ness kit, not expensive but ride quality will suffer.

I also used the Ness kit and ride quality did suffer somewhat, but I got used to the difference soon. Cost $200.00 Is that costly?

I have the HD lowering kit and the ride is a bit rough but you get used to it.If funds allow go for a suspension kit like Progressives.
