Which lowering kit for a SG?
Hey Guys
This winter I want to get the front of my SG lowered a bit. I am not sure which kit to get? Is the proper HD kit the Touring front lowering kit? (p/n 54628-06) Or would you go with an after market kit?
Thanks, Eric

Just put chrome lowers and cow bells on mine and at the same time put the Harley lowering kit in.
Think you have the right part.
It did seem to lower the frount for me and make things a bit easyer to reach the ground.

No,what they did was give you the short shocks,but
you can lower the front 1/2 to 1 inch to level out things.
It seems to have worked for me.I gave it a good test going through the
hills of West Va.I do have to admit it is real easy to scrape floor boards.

Progressive shocks should make something for the SG's. The factory HD springs arent as bad as some of the other bikes I have had in the past but Progressive springs have always been great and I feel sure they will have some lowering fork springs. You could always cut the spring tubes too.

Progressives front and back!A stiffer ride as with any lowering from stock,but i'm very satisfied with the outcome and less nose dive when you have to get on the front brakes!

...SG has rear lowered 3/4" with shorter shocks from MOCO...you can still lower front with HD, White Brothers etc. about an inch to level things out, shouldn't change ride other than maybe draggin a board occasionally.
