Default Lowering but carry pillion

Hi,
I like the look of the lowered Street Bobs and would like to do the same to mine BUT a lot of the time my wife rides pillion. Will lowering be a problem? And any advice on which shocks to get? I was looking at the Burly 10.5" ones

Shouldn't be a problem if the mrs don't mind the bumpy ride

Hi mate,
Fitted the rear shocks but am having the fronts and stand fitted later today. So far so good. Definitely stiffer but hasn't bottomed out so far. Will post pics and let you know how I get on with the full slam

Here she is with the Burly Slammer kit fitted and 1" shorter jiffy stand. I am not impressed with the stand though, it is impossible to put the stand down when sitting on the bike as it is totally hidden away. Ive just ordered an extension kit which should sort this out.
Definitely a stiffer ride but I've ridden with the wife over some pretty big bumps and it is fine. I will try to get a pic of us both on the bike

And you guys so often wonder why your lady doesn't really like riding with you, LOL! Another reason I ride my own :-)
