Default FLHC Height Adjustment

My apologies for starting a new thread...Couldn’t find another thread where this has already been discussed.

My wife has a 2020 Heritage Classic. She does fine riding it...we just did a 3500 mile trip from Dallas up to Sturgis and down through the west side of Colorado. The problem she runs in to, because of her height, is on uneven ground or walking the bike backwards to park. I’m curious to know if anyone on here has lowered a 2020 softail and what kit they used to do it. Obviously, it would also be good to know if they are happy with it.

Thanks for your help.

The Heritage has excellent handling and ride comfort. I hate to think of that going away with reduced suspension travel.

A possible alternative is an air adjust system. I do not have it, but this one looks to be very well designed: Arnott Ultimate Ride
