Default Lowering teh SG a bit more? Anyone done it?

I did the front an inch when I chromed it. But I'd like it down a bit more.. Was thinking a lower profile tire in the rear, but I want to put a 21" on the front. I think getting 2" under tubes is going to be my only route. Anyone make a rear shock 11" or 11.5". I dont want it slammed, I still ride it about 6k a year. Hoping more this year.

Any ideas?

i have a lowering kit i will sell for $25.00 shipped u use your stock shocks and u put this kit on and u can drop up to 3 inches. of course 3 inches is alot 4 a streetglide but u have a 3 in option. be careful with the front end cuz if u drop it to low your crash bar will hit the front fender. an inch in the front is all i would go. just saying

My buddy put that lowering kit on his SG. Went around the block and took it back off. The angle it out the shocks on made it ride too rough.

I think they are 11" now that I think about it.

I don't know. Just want to do something. Maybe new fenders and bag extenders.

Love the bike and the ride just want the rigid frame low look.
