Default Deluxe front end ?

Greetings all

I was wondering about putting some progressive springs in the front end of my FLSTN as well as adding another 2".

Mainly for the ground clearance issue that i am having and also to stiffen up the front a little.

I was hoping someone here has already done this and is prepared to give me the low down on the pro's and con's.

A picture would also be very helpful indeed as i don't want to mess with the look of the bike to much but to be honest that comes second at the moment.

The bike is stock in the height department at the moment.

Thanks for any help you may be able to share with me.

Man most of us go the other way and drop 2". I have never seen it done nor have I heard of it being done.

Sorry!

Thanks for the reply i appreciate it.

They do look good dropped but i have no idea how you guys ride them like that.

I have trouble going round corner's with a stock set up and am on my 3rd set of board's.

Your 21" front and dropped back does look smoke'n though.

Thanks again

My other daily driver is a F250 v10 super crew with the 8 foot bed. I take up two parking spaces and have to swing wide to make any turn.... funny thing is I do the same thing with my bike I just swing wide and can keep from scraping.

Great sounding truck.
We don't get the F250's down here.
I would love to see a pic of that some time.
