Default lowering

Thinking of putting a 2" lowering kit on my 2013 Ultra Classic. For my short legs. What are the pro's & con's ?

You'll bottom out sooner, but the ride will be about the same (except that you'll bottom out sooner, haha). It will seem rougher because of that. You'll also scrape your floorboards more often in turns. No biggie.

You'll also have trouble carrying a passenger because that will pretty much set you both on the rubber bumpers.

For solo riding, though, I ran that way with no issues.

Pro- sparks from floorboards make ya more visible at night.
Con- sparks from floorboards wear out your expensive floorboards.
