I looked through the lowered softail thread but didnt find what I was looking for. I have my 21 inch front tire for my deluxe. I want to lower both the front and back. I already have a progressive drop in kit for the front and a kit for the back also. Both can go down to 2 inches. Does anybody know how low I can go with a passenger and not scrape with both the front and rear? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Not being a smart ***.. My buddys Deluxe scrapes when stock when 2-up. Id say rider weighs are about 400 to 450lbs and when riding on any sort of wavy or choppy surface.

 

I think your load is what is going to be the biggest factor. Secondly how aggressive your lean is while turning. I can scrape my stock height with my OL she only 120lbs, so usually I am conscious of this...however I have ridden...um, bigger girls and we scrape a little almost every time.

But I have remedied this... I got a Shotgun Shock system. Raise 'em for the fluffy ones, lower it for the not so fluffy...lol.

 

trail and error, for each one of us it what I'd thing would be the answer.
