Lowered Softails
SO here's my deal.. I wanna lower my nightrain, Not wanting to use an air ride but I want to get it pretty low in the back. So My question to all yall is what kits did yall use and can you post pics.. I saw that the shock mounting bolst take it down an inch and the shocks do almost 2? any pics and info yall have will be appreciated.. Thanks
I used the Progressive kit on the front, and I can't remember the name on the back. All purchased from J & P, the rear kit is the one where you don't have to disassemble the shocks. I don't think there is a mfr name on the kit, they are sold under a generic name. The rear shocks are a treat to remove and install. Have patience.
Lowered the bike about 2 inches, rides stiff, and I like it.

I used Progressive 413 shocks on the back and the MoCo 1" drop in the front.
The bike's at the dealer right now getting a Shotgun Air Ride system for the rear, and a set of Race Tech Gold valve 2" drop springs for the front. I want to be able to slam in to the ground.
The shocks may be for sale on Monday if you want a great option to consider. I have another member with dibs until then.
I'm looking at $225.00 for the set. They're chrome and have about 2,500 miles on them.

I used arlen ness front and rear kit. Front drops about 2" and the rear gives you more adjustment to slam it. Its a hell of alot cheaper then new shocks.
