I've an 04 Road King Classic, rear already lowered with 12" shocks. Thinking about lowering the front. Progressive, in order to maximize confusion, has two fork lowering kits, with little information available on the one, and none on the other.
10-2003 is the "drop in" kit, which from what I understand, is not a drop in kit, you have to take the fork apart. Spring rate of 117 lb/in.
10-1561 is the non-drop in kit, and Progressive provides no information on what this kit is.
If any of you folk know what the difference is between these two kits, I'd love to know what it is.
The little bit of information I can gleen from the Progressive instructions for the 10-2003 kit has you trimming the PVC tube to adjust height, with no information about how long it should be for a given drop! I'd like to drop the front about 1", Progressive has no idea how long I should cut the PVC pipe to for that.
