lowering a lowrider
Have a lady friend who is short and looking at a couple of lowriders. One is bone stock and she is concerned about lowering it. What is the best way to lower a lowrider, shorter shocks or lowering blocks for the shocks. On my FLHTK, I went with the lowered front and rear before taking possession and not sure if the dyna has, or needs such lowering. I suppose a cut down seat would also help.

Thanks, what is stock rear shock height, 12"? Which Progressive did you use?
Does HD sell a front end lowering for it? I looked on the HD site and didn't see one online.

Check out progressive drop in lowering springs for front end, very easy to do.

I used burly shocks, I havent lowered the front yet , easy to do. The ride is stiffer and border line ok for 2up (IMO) A friend uses lowering blocks and is really happy with them he has tamarrack brand ,plus Lowering blocks are cheaper than the shocks, http://tamarackmw.com/tamarack_054.htmI

Lowering blocks are an easy and relatively inexpensive way to lower the bike. The problem is when you do this you are changing the angle of the shock by moving it toward the rear of the bike. If its not adjusted properly , the rear tire could rub on the fender when you hit a bump. A shorter shock would work but is more expensive, although it might give a better ride. Anytime you lower a bike you are limiting the suspension travel and ride quality will suffer. That said , the security of having both feet firmly planted on the ground, can't be overstated.
