Flhr lowering front end

Well this past sat. Lowered the front end on my 07- road king.
It was a 5 hr job that i enjoyed very much.I'm a truck mancanhic
by trade so it was a change.The ride was good sunday.You know a lot of people worry that i might bottom out over the bumps.This is my answer
to that.Iride two up 80% of the time i have to be able to put my feet
down to control the bike. If it does bottom out oh well.That is something
i will deal with.But i know i lowerd it so it will be on my mind.
And i will be easy to find anyway i'll be the one on a roadking
with a big smile on my face.Because i'm rideing

07 roadking blk cherry&platuim pearl
low profile rear shocks
low profile front springs
rush2' mufflers
with more to come
