For those lowered Deluxe/Heritage Fork lowering
I tried searching multiple times so forgive me if this has been discussed before. Is everyone dropping the front the full 2" or maybe more? I have the fork lowering kit but missing the additional 2 top out springs so I would only be able to get 1" lower. Thinking of purchasing another kit but this time going drop in so it's easier to raise/lower down the road. For the drop in kit what size PVC are you running? I see it says 3.00 in the directions but I don't know if that is stock, -1" and how much to cut for -2" thanks for any help!

I am running the progressive drop in kit with the full 2" drop.Cutting the PVC spacer at 3" as per the instructions will give you the full 2" drop.I would not go any lower then that.I also have recently added the Ricor Intiminators to my front forks.They smooth out the front end and offer a very confidence inspiring feeling to the overall handling and braking performance of the bike.Since you are going to be in the forks now is the time to do it .If you can swing them.If you do add them you have to cut an additional 5/8 th's of an inch off the pvc spacer(this is how much room the Intiminators take up in the fork tube).This will retain the full 2" drop and proper geometry and handling of the front end.The Ricors do not cover lowering kit in the instructions they provide.I spoke with Brian at Ricor and he provided me with the info listed above.
