Shock lowering kits-good/bad?
Would like to drop my bike a little. Good old 28" inseam. Looking at the LA Choppers unit to drop the shocks in the rear. Any opinions?
Thanks

I put the kit on over the weekend and did not like the rubber boot up against the bolt that goes through the kit to the swing arm so i pulled it off.

Well..
Same problem here...I looked around a lot. For the money the Progressive 944's did wonders for me, both in height and ride quality.

The 944s are 13". Isn't that what the stock Streetglide has? I have a Streetglide.

I've used them off and on through out the years with no issues, they do change the feel of the shocks some IMHO.

Burly has some lowering blocks that work good , no rubbing saddle bags , no bottoming out solo or two up. I ran these on my 2014 with SG shocks.

Progressive 412-4074 is an 11.5" shock. E-bay for $208 in black.
