[quote=spence222;5165507]After doing a bit of research...the drop in kit doesn't require you to remove your front forks or even the front wheel...heres a video that might explain the drop in kit....I hope I pasted it in properly.....hope this helps!


If you have an FL style front end, you have to pull the wheel, fender, nacelle and remove each fork tube from the bike. A FX front end can be done on the bike.

I have not ridden both, just my drop in kit and I cant tell the difference in ride quality vs stock. I cant imagine why anyone would choose the standard kit over the drop in style.

I am going to be installing the Progressive Drop-in lowering kit and have a question.
What did you do to secure the fork slider to remove the fork plug?
