Lowering An Electra Glide Classic
#11
I have a 2010 EG Classic and a 29" inseam and have no problems, even when I had the stock seat. Have always been able to put my feet down flat no matter what footwear I was wearing. My Mustang seat has a more tapered front and makes it even better, but even if I had stayed with the stock seat I wouldn't have lowered the bike.

What year is your bike? I have an extra set of lowering blocks I would let go cheap.

I have the same inseam - been on my classic since Feb 04 - tried the rear and front lower then just the rear... I will promise you IF you have a passanger - their ride comfort will suffer - if your solo - no problem.
I went back to stock - wear Redwing boots and have a Custom Corbin - NO problems either solo or with the wife - bike has over 60K on it - three coast to coast in the past three years and just did my first Iron butt - all with NO prolems in reaching the ground or feeling solid on the bike. PM for any questions - use short riders need to stick together...lol

Now if you have $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ this the way to go...
I had read about these but had never seen one... On our last Coast to Coast - we stopped into a HD dealer for a break and they had one installed on a new Touring bike in the show room.... I sat on one... WOW>>>>>>>>>>> is all I can say... I loved it. and If I ever get a new bike, I just might go this route... $$$$$$$$$$$$ but a very solid feel and I could see over the dash with NO problem - that was my first thought, but NOT a problem
Yes,, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ but a great idea..
I just found the above videos and they are a great...
