Lowered Softails
No matter what you do, the lower you go, the worse it rides. That being said, the best static shock you can put on it would be the progressive 422/413. That would give a better ride than the stock shock with a bolt kit at any given height. The air ride gives you adjustability on the fly, but I don't know that for a given height, the ride is any better than the Progressive's. On the fly adjustability is pretty "fly" though!
Oh sorry I put a set of Sliders and caps on that I had powder coated gloss black, and I had thought bout doin the springs in the front, but want to do the back first see how she looks/rides... Where you located in East Tn.. We're prob not too far from one another..
My sig pic is from last summer, when I still had air ride on it. The rear was slammed, but the front was stock. Since then, I've removed the air (wasn't that impressed with it). I went back to HD stock shocks in the rear, lowered 1.5", and lowered the front 1.25" using the progressive kit.
Arlen ness slam kit -2 front -2.5 rear. A fellow forum members hookn me up w/ some progressives for the rear hope they ride better. Got scamed on e-bay over somwe works performance shocks
Bad pic been to cold to take shots

I think they ride better when mildly lowered - they seem to come from the factory calibrated for 2-up riding. My NT is setup for solo only, and handling improved after dropping the rear 1" (I also softened the shock preload at the same time).
