2" front fork drop on Rocker
I installed the Progessive drop-in kit this morning. It went in quite easily in about 1.5 hours.
I went for a ride today & was very pleased.
It handled like a sport bike compared to how it handled at stock height, a lot more nimble.
The ride is nice & smooth, not choppy like the stock springs.
The bonus is the Rock looks better.

progessive drop-in kit #10-2002
used no PVC spacers at all, just the 2 springs & stock washer
Thanks, it would look good with shorter tubes, but if it was any lower I would have no heels left on my boots

Do you find the front soft? When we removed the full spacer, the spring action was extremely soft... I ended up cutting 1" of the spacer, which came me a good ride...

I don't find it soft at all. I had to hit the brakes hard once & the front end didn't dive any different than with the stock spring.

Is just the front lowered on your bike? Is the front rim stock? Looks good by the way.
