Default RE: Road King Custom Front lowering ? HELP

ORIGINAL: tna1000

I am tempted to try 11". Anyone done that on a RK custom. Thanks
I run 11.5 440 HD's and lowered an inch in the front w/Progressive's kit. I'm 100% happy with the ride and handling. Although this past weekend I had a floorboard dragging incident...LOL.

I initially wanted to go lower in the rear,a friend of mine has 11 inch 440's on his dyna, so before I bought the 11.5's,I did a quick swap one weekend. I liked the look of the bike lowered the additional 1/2 inch, but the tire rubbed the fender and the shocks bottomed out over moderate bumps. You'd most likely not be able to ride two up with the 11 inch shocks.
