I have a 2005 Roadglide that has be changed over to a Streetglide. It was never lowered in the front so I am fixing to lower it. My question is what lowering kit would you use if it was your bike and would you lower it 1" or 2"? Would you use just a spring kit or the mono kit? Please explain why you would use the kit u choose.The back of the bike has been lowered 1" with Harley flhx air shocks. The bike also has 18" wheels front and back. The front fender is a hugger fender so it is a little lower then stock. All of which makes the front tire and wheel look even smaller. I am going to let yall decide what kit I install. I will be ordering the kit Sunday.

 

I tried this a couple of years back just make sure your specific about the year and model 05 road glide has the right cartridge type and the left has damper rod ,called progressive they dont even make a kit for the 2005 road glide had to get the harley kit instead 1" should be all you need

 

I went to progressive's website and they say they have the spring kit now it is just 1 spring and the mono kit would also fit it. I guess I need to conact them and talk to someone in person and make sure they will fit.

 

Bobzilla are you running a 18" wheel and lowered 1"?

 

no Pug I had a 21" on my 05 roadie and lowered 1" not going to mess with the new one ' s stance rides to good

 

Oh ok I thought you was talking about the one in your signature.

 

Here is a picture of my 05

 

Zilla, that 05 is bad ***!

 

I have to agree with rooster3171!!!!!!!

 

I'd lower it 1" and use the monotube, I lowered my Classic with the spring kit and the front end was soft and would bottom, I lowered it with the monotube lowering kit and it handled way better, however the kit has you installing 3 c spacers, only use 2 or the rebound is very harsh
