The new Drop-In Fork Lowering Kit from Progressive Suspension, with applications for Dynas, Sportsters, Softails and FLs, will make you gladly forget everything you thought you knew about lowering a Harley-Davidson front end.

These kits let you drop that front end up to a full 2-inches, on most bikes doing it without the hassles of disassembling the forks or pulling the wheel.

In most cases only the fork caps have to be removed to complete the installation. Raise the front of the bike so the forks are fully extended. Take the fork caps off, lift out the stock fork springs (if the bike has washers and/or spacers they come out, too), determine the correct PVC spacer for the bike you’re lowering (there’s a chart supplied with the kit) and with the forks fully extended insert the Drop-In Fork Spring, the Drop-In Compensation Spring, the supplied washer and that PVC spacer. That’s it. Reinstall the fork cap and you’re done. How’s that for making a tough job easy? The Progressive Suspension Drop-In Fork Lowering Kits are available right now.

The Progressive Suspension Air Dragger is A simple, low-cost, high-performance air-suspension system. It’s a direct mount to all late-model Harley touring bikes. The fully chrome-plated shock bodies are bolt-for-bolt replacements for the factory shocks, and they’re powered by an optional compressor unit that quickly and cleverly Velcro-mounts right into the back of a saddlebag. The Air Dragger shocks feature machined aluminum air chambers, velocity sensitive multi-stage valving and progressive internal coil springs. The Air Dragger offers up to 2-inches of on-the-fly height adjustment. This is a combination that’s hard to beat It’s available right now and it all comes at a rider-friendly price.

The Baker DD7, a Direct Drive 7-Speed, is a complete gear-set replacement for the Cruise Drive Harley-Davidson factory 6-speed, and it improves that transmission, and the bike it’s in, in lots of ways besides adding one more gear.
A common complaint from riders is that the factory 1st gear in the Harley 6-speed  transmission is way too tall, which makes the bikes feel sluggish when leaving a stoplight. The DD7 fixes that with a shorter I st ‘gear for much improved off-the-line acceleration. Because of that shorter first gear, and all the new gear ratios following it, the DD7 makes the bike feel more responsive overall, almost like some serious motor work had been done.

Another complaint with the H-D trans is shifter clunk. The factory main-shaft is a heavy one-piece design that includes 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears. The audible clunk at every gear change in the factory 6-speed is caused by the heavy rotating weight and high inertia of that I -piece main shaft. The DD7, in comparison, uses a strong but lightweight main shaft and only includes the small I st gear as an integral part. With the DD7 installed, the Harley “shift clunk” is noticeable only by its absence. To further improve shifting the DD7 also incorporates a new linear roller-ball detent as part of its billet top cover, a technology first used in the Baker TorqueBox.

The DD7 is a great addition and upgrade. With the reconfigured gear ratios, a Harley is able to make full use of all the torque and power of its 96-, 103- and 110-inch engine. Instead of designing the DD7 gear set as a deep overdrive, Baker shortened the I st gear ratio and tightened up the ratios of all the other gears. The result is smooth, crisp and continuously pulling acceleration from 1st through 4th gears, and when you get into the cruising portion of the gear set (5th through 7th gears) there’s no big drop in RPM from one gear to the next. This is the kind of transmission those new Harleys should have come with in the first place.

The DD7 Builder’s Kit comes with everything needed for the conversion, and it comes ready to slide right into the bike. No case modifications, shimming of the gear set or complicated adjustments are required. And it’s built Baker tough. The DD7’s door bearings, for example, are 28-percent wider than stock. A re-cal box with all the electrical leads included keeps the speedometer accurate and for cosmetics the DD7’s extra-strong trap door is available in wrinkle-finish black at no additional cost.
