Lower Bike 1 inch
I need to lower my 2014 Ultra 1 inch so I am flat footed while stopped. I am 5'10" and 220 lbs. The only two options I can think of is replacing stock air shocks with HD premium low (12") adjustable or use the Tamarack lowering kit. I have tried the HD seat that comes on the Ultra Low, its a n*% crusher. Any other suggestions?
Thanks

Lowering
Well I am about to fit the front and rear suspension units from the Low to my 2014 Street Glide. I have already had a reduced reach seat sculpted to lower me further and I wear Timberland pro waterproof boots with a 2" heel. At 5' 6" this is the dogs bollox of lowering as far as I am concerned.
So I guess a mix of the above would help. I hear Mean City Cycles do a good job with seats.

I lowered my '14 Ultra. Used a set of Low Profile Air Ride (like on a Street Glide) bought on Ebay. Then a set of Progressive Fork Lowering Kit Pt#10-1568.
I'm 5'7" with 29 1/2" inseam. Worked great and love thw way the front end doesn't dive now.
P.S. Love the color,

Read this thread of Berry's : https://www.hdforums.com/forum/new-r...um-shocks.html The folks he bought the lowering kit from make kits for different combinations of Harley's.

I lowered mine in the rear with the Shocks. Bought some Logger boots and im going to change the bars in a few weeks. I may try the Mean City seat thing before summer, I may also try lowering the front by sliding the tubes up some. Some say dont do it but others that have tried have had no problems that I can find

I'm also 5'10" and 220 with a 30" inseam. Had Mean City Cycles do my seat and installed a set of 12" air shocks from a SG and I sit flat footed now on my '13 RGU. With the Mean City seat mod I probably don't even need the 12" shocks. I may go back to my OEM 13" shocks for a better ride. Haven't had a chance to ride it much since the mods due to the weather.

It lowered me a good 2", and I am now flatfooted. This is the 5th or 6th seat I have had them do on different Harleys. Supernarrow mod with memory foam. Can't go wrong for $130..........
