Default Progressive front fork

I am looking for a web site reputable place to purchase a 1 inch Progressive lowering kit for the front of my sg. I am going to a 21 front and want the bike stock height. I have read most of the threads and with Dawg's help have made up my mind.

1. The 21 by 3.5 in the front wheel Arlen Ness Billet Bones with the black Rim
(what tire do I use)

2. Lower the front 1 to 2 inches with progressive Spring install.
(web site or info?)

3. Old Hippie to stop riding my bike long enough to install my parts!

4. I will check for ffender clearance issues. (well Old Hippie will)

....LOL...Old Hippie did the "ride it like you stole it" the other day and the most bad azz burn out you ever did see.... on your bike!...wish I would of taken pictures. I'll have him do it again and video post itfor all to see....we did finally get the pegs mounted to the saddle bags, alot easier to do wheelies now. When you coming home? We are sick of working on your bike, breaking parts off, cobble some more on for the ones we broke.... Its been a good one to learn on though..[sm=americanasmiley.gif] [sm=boink3.gif]been like the three stooges working on your stuff.

Pegs on bags are good for doing wheelies!
