Need Insite on lowering or not
#11
mine is 28 as well. i had bitchin baggers and yeah they were better than stock but if your wanting the best ride i'd get ohlins. i have had bitchin baggers 11.25", progressive 412's 11.5", stock SG shocks and ohlins #3-#3. im 5'7" with a 28" inseam and i touch better with the ohlins than any other.

Howard knows what he is doing. He can only advise you based on what you tell him, he is not a mind reader. 2-2A'S or 2-2B's should be the ticket depending on how high you want the seat. The A's will sit 3/4" lower than the B's with almost exactly the same wheel travel. Call him and talk about both. I have the 2-3's and they are awesome. He hit the valving stack dead on, I love these shocks.

I would not lower a street glide any further - my road king is about half an inch lower than stock with the JRI shocks and I hit my foot boards often, usually making a U-turn in a crowned road. Another half inch (stock SG height) would be problematic. I can't imagine what it would be like another inch lower than that!

He doesn't redo Le Pera seats. I've spoken with him and I sold my stock seat awhile ago. Looking into a guy in Raleigh for the seat modification.

looks like you have a lepera maverick? i had one of those and it was the best of the many i tried. i absolutely love the built in back rest. lepera will actually recover your lepera seat but its pricy. or maybe call c&c and see if they can. if you do decide to get rid of it pm me and i'd be seriously interested!

I am 65 = 5'6" and pretty short inseam - I have had my 04 since 2/04 = dropped the front and back 1" - ride was HELL - I ride two up 98% of the time.. went back to Stock shocks, front and back - I live 80 miles from the Corbin factory and I did the ride in appointment - I LOVE my corbin seat & I also wear these

You can beat that price if you shop - Those boots have a 2" heel and will help a LOT. I can sit on a factory SG Flat Footed - no problem
Since you have a SG - your back is already down one inch - you can drop the front but it will not ride as well - but look cool... and your bike looks cool
I just got a 2015 Ultra Limited LOW - Back suspension is ok - Front - I am changing to Stock - got a pair of lowers off Ebay for $49 shipped - local chrome shop = $140 - I will buying all the internals for almost 20% off list and no shipping... I will take my Low front shocks and they will sit in the closet - If I ever want to go back.
Looks like you do NOT ride two up??? Drop the front you should be fine.. buy the boots and you should be just fine.
Being short - my feet are just flat footed - can not move my base out much at all - like a Tall guy can.
So, when I stop or pull into a parking lot.. I have to be REAL careful and look... even the slightest dip, hole or stone can make my footing slip and over I go, I have done this twice - once No damage - second got a minor bugger on my left fairing.
From the looks of your COOL bags... a parking lot drop will really mess them up... Ride it and enjoy it...
