That is odd, I have them on my bike now...no contact with anything.

 

The Burley blocks WILL hit the springs, and WILL NOT work.

The others, I don't know about.

 

Looking for rub marks and don't see any, but as you can see the MACS have a notch to clear the spring.

 

Thanks barrygreen, I saw those on eBay and wasn't sure about them but if your running them with no problem I think Ill give them a try. Is the ride much difference and did you also drop the front an inch?

 

I love some lowered bikes for stability but man can't stand that lean if you don't do the front springs.....which makes it expensive and difficult. Doing the blocks is easy.

 

Nice find, I am ordering some also. I had the road 6 customs on my 09 king for the entire time I owned my bike and never had a problem with the blocks.

 

I did see a set from Arlen Ness on eBay for $160 that said they worked on the 2014 SGS. IMHO, when you can piece together an air ride system for under $250, I would go that route before doing the lowering blocks. You have total adjustability, don't alter the shock angle, don't have to contend with potential bag rubbing issues.

 

I have the kit from LA Choppers. You do have to use the 13" o e air shocks. Installed correctly, nothing rubs. The lowering blocks must be installed on the in side of the swing arm rather than the outside as in previous years. Also, the two thinner spacers are installed at the bottom. The thicker spacers are not used. Sadly, I was one of those that discovered this the hard way after the tech installed the kit as it would be on a '13 and older. In my case, the issue was corrected before any real damage was done to the saddlebags or the upper shock cases. In fact, LA Choppers now has a great installation video on line now that is much clearer than their printed instructions. Wish it had been up when my kit was installed back in May.

 

I should add that unlike the other kits on the market, the LA Choppers kit does not move the lower mounting hole backwards. Their kit moves the lower shock mounting hole straight down 1". Thus, the shocks stay in the same vertical plane as when the bike is assembled in York, PA

 

I just ordered the 1-inch Rear Lowering Kit PN LA-7590-00B for my 2014 FLHX due to the stock seat not allowing my feet down all the way. My feet are almost down, so these should help. I am looking for a lowering seat for the FLHX that works for me where I may later remove this lowering kit in case it impacts my riding. I ordered this kit after another rider on a 2013 Limited used them and has no problems riding. However, this kit pushed the shocks out on his Limited where the shocks rubs against the bags.

Thanks for the install information above.
