Default Does anyone make a lowering block for 14 SGS?

I have searched the forums and just about every reference I find to lowering blocks for the 14 Street Glides is for the SG not the SGS. I want to lower front and rear 1" and will use the progressive kit in the front but I cant seem to find any block kit for the rear. Does anyone with a SGS have a kit on theirs or does anyone know of a kit for the 14 SGS. Thanks in advance for any help.

I'd do some good research on those blocks before I'd buy them. There have been issues of guys damaging the inside of the saddlebags when they rub. Changing the shocks etc is ALWAYS better than blocks. It throws off the angles. Cheaper but definitely not better

Curious about why the blocks won't work with an SGS of the same year. Are the shocks THAT different?

The special models have adjustable shocks like some of the CVO's have, I have searched also and can not find any.

You can put Burley blocks on with no clearance issues IF you swap the coil-over hand adjustable shocks with a set of air shocks from a regular Street Glide.

The blocks will not work with the coil over type springs.

I've done it.

IF they work on a '13 they will work on a "14. I have the premium adjustable shocks on my '14 SGS and lowering blocks. So many manufactures of aftermarket parts still do not list a '14, but like I said if it works on the 13, it will work. Not sure about the Burly ones but the others will. I used the ones on ebay from Macs Fabrication, very well built and you can go as low as 3" inches. I use the 1st hole which is one inch and have tried the second hole for a 2" drop but did not like it that low. On ether setting there was no issues with bag clearance. Any block that moves the shock back will work. As far as the horror stories, My buddy has them on his '08 SG, put them on when he bought it, 35k later they are still there. Oh and BTW, most will tell you not to use on a SG because it is 1" lower from the factory, worried about clearance issues and bottoming out. Has never been a issue for me.
I have shared a couple of the styles that will work just fine.

I Don't know about the one's in the first pic, but the ones in the 2nd pic most definitely won't work. The come in contact with the springs. I had a set of the Road Customs and tried them.
