Does the front end bottom out quickly with lowering springs? It will already bottom out on a big enough pothole or a rough transistion on a bridge or something, so I'm used to that, but I just wouldn't it to be much worse. I have considered them for my HS, but I don't know anybody that's done it.

Yes, as long your bike has 3/4 axles like my Springer does. I do not think Jireh has released the 1 inch wheels yet. $249

If its already bottoming out on your stocks springs it sounds like it needs to be replaced. My lowering springs doesn't feel like they bottom out and our roads here sucks ***. Potholes everywhere!

I don't think they make the king spokes just yet for FL springers...
If they do then they just released it.
