I know a dyna low rider is lower,what do they use to lower it? Sounds to me a low rider is a \\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\; Super Glide frame but with different parts on it to lower it?

(For the initial challenged)
SG=Super Glide
SB=Street Bob

RE: How to make my SG lower
The difference between the 06 and later Low Rider and the Super Glide is because of three components:
 \\;
[ul][*]The Seat[*]The Rear Shocks[*]The Rake of the Triple Trees[/ul]
The Low Rider seat moves you forward and lower a little. \\; The rear shocks are approximately 1" lower than the Super Glide's. \\; The rake on the Low Rider is 1.5 degrees more lowering the front end about .3". \\; The frames on both biles are identical.
 \\;
I have lowered the rear on my FXDI about 1.5". \\; I also have Low Rider triple trees with 1.5 degrees rake.

Are you saying that a Street Glide \\;\\\\\\;has the same frame as an FXD?

Sleep it off. It might come to you in a dream that they're completely different. But you didn't hear it from me.

Perhaps you need the sleep. \\; Unless he edited his post after the fact, he said super glide frame and said nothing about a street glide.

GW, if you want to make your SG lower, you can use shorter shocks. \\; I believe the street bob and the lowrider have 12" stock shocks where the super glide has 12.6" shocks. \\; I lowered mine with 12" progressives.
