Installing the front fork lowering kits?
Is it difficult installing the Harley front fork 1" lowering kits? And do I need to just add oil? cuz didn't really want or need to take completly apart only got 600 miles on bike. I was told did not have to take completly apart to install these, just gettn other opinions..

I have not used the Harley kit but instead installed progressive monotubes to get front end 1" lower. I highly recommend the monotubes based on my experience. Much firmer suspension. My bike was also almost new when I did this. The monotubes also do not use oil for damping.
I have never been into front suspension before doing this but with the service manual and the forum here was a fairly straightforward job.
Just my 2 cents; your mileage may vary.

If you install the monotubes, would that also be a good time to install the chrome forks and cowbells? Also, by using the monotubes, do you totally eliminate the oil?
That's exactly what I did. Also, there is a very small amount of oil used with the Monotubes and its only used for lubrication purposes.
