Thats looks spot on Kelly. Mine handled kinda chitty until I dropped the front an equal amount to the rear tho'.
I started at 2.5" on the rear with the front stock. It was a bit sketchy and didnt want turn in on the twisties. Matter of fact it wanted to turn out and I was overshooting corners, ending up going way wide if I hit the corner to fast and feeling out of sorts.
Put the progressive front lowering spring kit in and dropped it 2" and cranked the back up a half inch putting it at 2" as well and it was like a different bike. It turns in sharp and predictable and actually rides better with the progressive kit in the fork and heavy *** fork oil.

Well, I will be testing it out in corners tomorrow. If need be, I'll go with the Progressive fronts. 2.5 is a LOT though. According to my Harley guy, mine is just shy of 2". We'll see.

That being said when i brought it back up to a total of 2" it was night and day better. Still turned like chit but I was in the seat.
See whatcha think. Progressive fork spring kit is less than a bill and works really well.
