So I have the shotgun on the rear couldn't be happier! I was wondering what the best method is to lower the front how low are people going. Pics would be appreciated
Not sure about a true drop in for that model, i went with the Progressive drop in but there was a little more to it on my 04 Heritage. Its not hard but its not a 30 minute job like they advertise.
ya i ordered the "drop in" ill see how that goes, when I get back home. But with the front and the rear lowered my next concern is the kickstand?
oh one more thing with all the people lowering the rear "shotgun" or "bolts" does anyone have to adjust the belt after or are you guys leaving it as is?
Sorry to hijack....

I used the bolts, picked them up on ebay for 20 bucks. I lowered mine 1/12" and my kickstand is fine. If you slam it i am pretty sure you would have to do something with it.
I have the shotgun and with it all they way down its at a much more up right angle in the stand so when I lower the front this winter I'll definitely be looking for a shorter kick stand.
