mush up front
I have a 09 rk with a corbin classic solo seat, my problem I need to solve is the mushy front suspension. I'm looking hard at a one inch drop and hoping this would stiffin up the front end and add the hd low pro rear shocks. what I don't want is to bottom thr front into the fender. anyone else do this, have problems, input. thx

Change to SE Heavy (not the Extra Heavy) fork oil. I did a write-up here on the job, which is much easier than the prescribed method in the service manual. Took me about an hour the first time, but subsequent changes should be quicker. The ride is more controlled, firmer but not harsh, and is an overall big improvement IMO.
I would try the oil change first, then if you aren't satisfied go with some Progressive springs. What I would not do is lower the front-end, as that would reduce travel and likely cause more bottoming that would make the ride harsher, not better-controlled IMO.
