Default lowering a RK

I'm trying to decide on the best way to lower the forks on my 2001 RK. Has anyone used the Arlen Ness dampening tubes? Or is the best way to go is with the Race Tech setup? I'm just wanting to go about an inch or so to match the rear that's already lowered.

You would probably be happier with the Race Tech emulators, JMO

I used the Arlen Ness dampners on my ultra...so far no problem and they cost less.

Doesn't you 01 RK have front air? My 01 RKC does.
