I installed 11" progressive Sunday. Looks good in my opinion and rides well. Scraped the pegs and exhaust a few times but it's an okay trade off to have the bike set up the way I like it. I like being flat footed while at a stop sign or parking space backing up. I am a short s@%t. I intended on dropping the front but don't see the need. Bike handles as good as it did before. My 2 Cents.
P.S. I think any lower would bring on a lot more problems

I am gonna go with the Progressive 440 11.5 inch on my 06 Street Bob. I think any shorter than that the lean angle is decreased too much for me. Scraping pipes really sux,and I have knocked my right foot off by folding up the right side peg on my braking foot,which sux cuz I was braking with it at the time. I may stick with 440 12 inchers. Depends on what I get them for $$$
