2005 road king rear shocks
Morning,
I apologize if I've posted in the wrong area. Looking for some direction on rear shocks or advice on ride height. I bought a stock 2005 road King classic, sat a little high for me to be flat foot. Got progressive fork shocks and a rear shock lowering kit. Had those put on. It lowered the bike 2" front and rear. Perfect. Or so I thought. Now, when I have a passenger on the bike, even going over a SMALL bump, the rear tire hits the fender. I will be raising the rear 1" when I get home to see if this gives me enough play for safe riding, and then looking into a low profile seat. That being said, anyone have a similar issue that has found a solution with aftermarket shocks or other ideas?
Thank you
