RE: Some extras added
Would you buy the 1 inch lowered springs again? I am curious because I have a 21/18 setup and I currently have the SG (-1") rear shocks and have done nothing to my front suspension.
I feel like the bike is a little floppy in the front wheel and the bike also feels a little light up front now and I am sure adding more weight bias to the front via the lowering springs (either through Progressive/HD or RaceTech) will help, but you said the handling difference is not appreciable.
So that begs the question. Would you spend the loot again to do get the lowering springs setup?
I haven't done it yet, but have seriously considered both the RaceTechand the Progressive/HDsetups.
In addition, there are both -1" and -2" front spring setups from RaceTech. Which is the correct drop for the 21" and -1" rear shocks, does anyone know?
Thanks to all that have input on this.
And nice bike, by the way!

RE: Some extras added
I waited about month and half after purchase of he kit,before installation. I truly did not want to disturb the ride as it is so comfortable. I PM back and forth with acouple forum guys , more so with GliderXXX, and he gave me some solid information as the performance and handling with the same race-tech set-up. I also am only 5'8' and was almost on my tores at traffic lights,so lowering was also a plus because now I am flatfooted. The bike actually performs extremley well . Only if you dive into the front brake , you might feel it bottom,but you have to hit it hard (front brake) , I have ABS . I just tested as I was told about what might happen ,so it wasn't like a true emergency. I originally was set to send it back sor fear of messing with the factory suspension up front. Glad I didn't and YES, I would do it again
