RE: rear air shocks
I put the Harley 12" rear shocks on my EGC and yes it is noticeable when you sit on it, I also lowered the front and it really makes a difference in the way that it handles when you drop the ctr of gravity an inch, especially when you are 5'7. If you are thinking about rear shocks take a look at progressive 440s as they are excellent. And you really can't notice the one inch drop visually.

RE: rear air shocks
I have an 03 Classic and the front and back have been lowered an inch. Even though I bought my bike used from a friend who already had this done, I've sat and rode on several stock height Classics and IMO, it makes a difference. I'm 5'9 and it gives me a little more stability. I couldn't say it makes a difference in looks or performance though. I would recommend it.

FYI - there are many threads on this question that you should be able to pull up through a search. You can find lots of detail & opinions from others, including myself
I used a 1 1/2" lowering bracket on my RKC & its noticeable sitting on it as well as looking at it if you're familiar w/RK's. 2 up riding is fine - although I have bottomed out out occasionally. 1" bracket is recommended for those who do lots of 2 up riding.

Lowered the back with these. Great Price. Better handling for me and looks good.
