Default RE: Lowering

I HAD HARLEYS LOWERING SPRINGS IN FRONT AND LOWERING SHOCKS ALL HARLEY PARTS. I NOTICED IT RODE A LITTLE FIRMER ALLROUND FROM STOCK. ALSO HAD TO USE SCREAMIN EAGLE FORK OIL UP FRONT TO SLOW DOWN REBOUNDING. AND YOU GOT TO STAY ON TOP OF AIR PRESSURE IN REAR OR IT WILL RIDE LIKE HECK.OTHER WISE WOULD I DO IT AGAIN? FOR SURE IF YOU LIKE A SPORTY RIDE.LIKE A CORVETTE OR A CADILLAC. LETS SETTLE FOR A STS.THE SPORTY CADILLAC.THAT SHOULD SUM IT UP . D.J.
