    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

    Tony, bump up the fluid to HD Screaming Eagle oil,

    They have three
    Stock
    Firm
    Racing (rock hard)

    go to the firm it should help with bottoming.
