Default Sweet Deuces! Lowering springs?

I just purchased the progressive front fork lowering springs for my 05'. I thought they would be drop in type installations. but they arent....does any body have instructions for the install? can it be done in a shade tree mechanics garage like mine?

With the Progressive 422 shocks and my deuce lowered as it is, I get a real good ride. But of course if you hit a nasty bump you'll feel it. Cruising down the freeway at 75 its a nice ride..There is no bottoming out with those shocks. I do have it set at a firm setting also.
I also have the heel rest on my pegs. Adds to the comfort..
On those wide fender kits, you have to cut off your frame struts. So once you go that route, theres no going back.
