Seen it at BKRIDER.COM and it looks just like the Progressive kit. They even have the drop-in kit just like Progressive too and both are half the price ($49).
I posted pretty much that exact question back in Dec. on the night train pic thread. Responses I got say they are pretty much the same. I bought and installed the DBI drop in kit and added the heavy fork oil as recommended. Can't give a review until March when the bike goes to FLa. I didn't find any bad reviews in my searches just a lot of heavy fork oil recommendations. I cut the PVC spacer for a 2" drop. I figure for the relatively cheap price it was worth a shot. Just trying them out in the garage the front is noticeably stiffer.
I put the progressive front and rear kit in my rocker and they both made a huge positive difference!!!! I paid 90 bucks for the front and 385 for the rear at Dennis Kirk. I used se heavy duty fork oil...AWESOME!!! One of the most cost effective mods I've done. Better ride and handling.
Thanks for bringing these to my attention. I was just looking at the Progressive drop-in kit. If I decide to do a 21" front wheel, I will go this route for half the price.

I ordered these today. For $49 you can't go wrong if they're the same as Progressive ones. Should be here Monday and I'll post pics if you guys want to see or compare.
