"reports"...
it is a real possibility, the wiring runs inside the fender
a tire which contacts the fender may also get grooved by hardware, such as protruding shock hardware or the seat bolt, some riders have managed to heat up the fender ( through contact) and damage the paint.
lowering a bike reduces cornering clearance, so the rider has to check and be aware of the new limitations.
watch for dragging jiffy stand on left turns, and the belt tension may need to be adjusted as well.
for most an inch drop is no problem, more than that can be
the angle of the shock may be changed, and may not fit inside the cut out of the saddlebag, if so the bag may be spaced away from the bike...something to look at before you ride

Get the LA Chopper lowering blocks well made no way will they break or look like they will break like the cheap ones, and they drop you straight down, and do not put shocks in an angle..

Yes, I have seen a few of the welded type stretch and break.
I have also seen on older model Touring (2001 and earlier) the swingarms have troubles with them.
The one piece billet ones, on 2002 and later, never seen an issue.
Check em out HERE

You site says it won't work with CVO Street Glide.
Will they work on the 14 Street Glide Special (with the same shocks as the CVO)

It will not work with the 2014 street glide special due to the fact that it uses the same shocks as the CVO. Be sure to let us know if you need anything.
