If you only want to lower it 1" then any of the bolt kits like HD, Arlen Ness, Burnout Cycles would be fine... I think the ride with a bolt kit sux *** when you slam it though cuz you're always on that big bump stop on the Rocker.. If you were going to slam it then I recommend the Progressive 422's.. That is unless you like riding a rigid..

I don't know that there is a kit that lowers it just 1". However, the Arlen
Ness kit is adjustable as are the others if I'm not mistaken. Once you install the kit...you can lower the bike however much you want. I have the Arlen Ness kit and mine is only lowered 1".
Arlen Ness part # 17-100
Ebay for $57.00

You can use a Wild One lowering kit W0 201, $ 59.95, we lowered my new bike with that, and depending your application, you can lower the bike up to 2 inches. I'll get e picture here of my bike as soon as I figure out how
