Default Lowering sportster iron 2015

Hi, my wife is taking over my sporster iron 2015.

If I can manage to lower the bike then I'm sure I would have an even happier wife.

Is it difficult? How do I go about it?

Thanks
Rex

Youll get about a hundred responses saying to go with the Burly slammers. My suggestion is that if you REALLY want a happy wife, you go with Progressive lowering shocks front and rear

Thanks. What's better about progressive's lowering shocks? How difficult are they to install?

DK Customs sells a rear lowering kit kit for around $69. Very simple to install as you only have to jack the bike up and disconnect the bottom shock bolts to install them.
Good quality product and you support a for vendor.

Think it depends on how low you want to go...bury slammer is 10.5" eye to eye.
