RE: Lower a Superglide Custom?
ORIGINAL: stevieg
I've been seeing all these SG Customs and I love 'em. Like the bigger tank. Being as I'm only 5'4" on a good day I've been looking at Bobs and Lowriders which have the same stock seat hgt (26.8) and ground clearance (5.6). The Custom's specs are 27.8 for seat hgt and 6.0 for ground clearance. It looks like a lot of the seat hgt is due to the stock seat. My question is: Is there any reason someone couldn't lower a custom (11.0 Progressives, maybe?) as low as a Bob or Lowrider can ultimately be lowered? Anything else besides the tank that sets the Customs apart?

I'm actually thinking of doing that now as well, as I've recently fitted the Sundowner Solo seat to my SGC which IS THICKER than the OEM seat and has raised me up a good 1-2", so I'm considering lowering the bike to compensate....

from what i have been told from bar enterprise...aka harleyseats.com...stock seats have more cushion,than what they use to make their seats..plus they use memory foam...they also make the side of the seat a little thinner so your legs do not bow out when you put the down...which will create length..look at the hitchhicker...i am haveing them make me one..hopefully will be done about the 18 of next month,,good luck...
