Lowering front
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 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.

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
