I lowered mine 1" with the drop in lowering kit. I also added the Ricor Intiminators at the same time. It rides great, but I am not sure how it would be without the intiminators. I guess it would be fine, but the intiminators make it much smoother.

While we are on the topic, how hard are these to install? Was thinking of order a kit this week and trying the install myself.
I think I have seen them on ebay around $90 +/- anyone know of a great deal on these?
(not trying to steal the thread- just expand it a little)
I had read a post that said these kits don't "drop in" on the flstf but I can't figure out how or why the fatboy would be any different.

$90 is a great deal. that is dealer cost
There is one for $88 shipped but not sure if it is the right part number, waiting to hear back from the seller.
I'm just hoping I am not getting in over my head... still have that air ride to install!
