I have decided against lowering blocks as they weaken the Swing arm.

After long discussion w/ Howard @ Motorcycle Metal I have ordered the following:

Ohlin #2-2(B) 12-⅞” that will sit at 11-⅞” vs. the stock 13” that sit at 13”. DROP of 1-⅛ “ !
They will have a full 84mm stroke and fully preset to my specs.

Also adding a Progressive 1” lowering kit (not drop in) to the front.

This is my third set from him on my third HD. Very pleased 

Will update when all is in / on.

Don't waist all that money on a 1" progressive for the Front.  If your spending the money to do the Front, do it right with Ohlin or Legends. 

I have a bike with a 1" lower progressive front, and one with the Legends.  The legends is way better.  Install is about the same as for time and cost.  I will never own progressive anything again.

Did you use the drop in for Progressive?

I used the progressive Mono Tube, which was their best front end suspension when I did it.  Not sure if it still is or not. 

I will never use any progressive suspension products again, front or rear.  There is much better out there by several companies, for not much more money.
