Default Monotubes on a fxst

I lowered my Night Train in the front 2" by changing to shorter fork tubes. Has anyone else done this and also installed progressive monotubes?

If so, I'm assuming you went with the ones for the FLST. And also, has anyone lowered it even further by getting the monotube kit that allows you to lower it 1 or 2 inches.

I'd like to improve the ride and drop it another inch at the same time.

Thanks

I ride a Deluxe, I dropped my front an inch and put the monotubes in. It's a great ride and really goes well with the Shotgun on back. It's one of the best rides I have ever had. It's not just about lowering the bike or slamming it. There are real benefits with this set up.
