Just got my chrome front end kit on with my ness 2" drop kit installed. The ride is better than expected. It definately evens out my ride having the front lowered. IMO the bike just didn't ride right with only the rear dropped. $120.00 + $100.00 parts and labor and NO headaches! not a bad deal. Check one more mod off of the list of several......

Really? I've got the Progressive drop-in in my Deluxe, and it's a bit lower than his. Rides great, imo.

just getting a DNA 21 x 3 (80 spoke)with a 90/90/21 WW. most likely a metzler. american performance sells those wheels for $299.99 which are a direct bolt up for the 09' deluxe. I would get sweet wheels like what you got (except black) but my eyes are on a air-ride first.
yes stock springs with ness kit...

Yeah, after looking at mine we're pretty damn close. I'm gonna go with the heavy fork oil when I do my sliders, too.

looks good.
I know you haven't had them on long enough to answer this yet but are you worried, that with it lower, that
rubbing the floorboards on your turns are going to be even more of a problem now then it was before?
I think I rubbed my floorboards a half a dozen times the first few months and probably only 2 or 3 times since.
I bet I'd rub them a lot more often if I lowered my bike.
Again... your bike is lookin good.
